Is it true Betfair have scrapped transaction charges in an attempt to increase liquidity? Or something that is planned maybe?

If it isn't, is there a way of checking when your transactions have hit 1000 for the current hour in the excel sheet?

Thanks

Can't believe I hadn't noticed that.

Thanks Michael :oops:

They have scrapped transaction charges on a trial basis for those who pay 40% premium charges I believe.

The new API that it's being tested right now is free from charges and limits until the end of this month so i believe a lot of people are using this "no limit" chance to check if the have something to gain from it (and if it covers the cost of the paid API).

Ahhh, I see - thanks guys.

do you know what's new about the api they are testing?

by **Captain Sensible** » Sat Oct 19, 2013 9:37 pm

It's a lot better thought out than the old API, now uses JSON which lots of web services use as the data is a lot smaller than the current API plus you can now call multiple markets etc with one call etc etc

The main benefits of the new API include:

Extended free trial period - access to API-NG is free of charge to all developers until 1st November 2013.

No data request charges for requests made via API-NG.

Lightweight protocol (JSON/JSON-RPC).

Configure the depth of the best prices returned to you.

Rollup available prices - you can configure the rollup amount and type.

Retrieve data from multiple markets in one request.

Retrieve matched and unmatched bets and prices available via a single request

Search by MarketType (MATCH_ODDS, WIN, PLACE etc.) flags which remain the same, regardless of language.

Search for in-play markets.

View ‘result’ by selection after settlement.

View virtual prices.

Thanks Captain for the info
Do you know if that or how that could
affect cross matching experience ?

I am also wondering if BA is ready to exploit all new API's capabilities?
(Probably this is for Gary)

Hi,

We will be migrating to API-NG and to that end are having a meeting with the Betfair API team very soon to discuss how and when.

The current API service will eventually be retired.

Regards,
Mark

Shouldn't have any effect on cross matching as everything xmatching is done at source before the data is even released to users. I think the only change re:x match is that the x match prices will now be included within the API data rather than any software having to recreate them using betfair's formula

Thanks both of you!

Anyone heard if the no transaction charges trial is being continued after today?

by **austingrd** » Sun Nov 03, 2013 7:07 pm

I don't think so. I think it was a one time deal. I hope they change their mind anyway.
