Betfair Trader

[Kevsy]

seems when I launch Betfair Trader I now get Betting Assistant. Can we still use Betfair Trader? I prefer this version as I have some programs I have no idea how to update running off the back of it.

Hi Gary,

is it a lot of work to modify Betfair Assistant, so that it can run with the new website design?
I am used to BA and would be very thankful to you if you could do the necessary changes.


Much appreciated,

Alexandru

Are you referring to the missing silks? This should be the only problem caused by the new website design as the rest of the program uses the API.

hi,
i 've been using 0.99o until today. I loved it. Now it can't load Markets.
Gary, is there any chanche you could fix this version and make it available?

It would be good if you could amend the old non-api scraping version as I used to use that for the place betting and a few others rather than the API one . It seems they've only changed the urls a little and not the main page content.

http://www.betfair.com/betting/LoadMarketDataAction.do?mi=

has now changed to either


http://uk.site.sports.betfair.com/betti ... tion.do?mi

http://au.site.sports.betfair.com/betti ... ion.do?mi=

and

http://www.betfair.com/betting/BetsManipulationAction.do?

to

http://uk.site.sports.betfair.com/betti ... nAction.do

and
http://au.site.sports.betfair.com/betti ... nAction.do

etc.....

main menu site now coming from

Sorry, I was talking about Betfair Assistant ver 0.99q (the last non-api one). Can you please do the minor changes (as Captain suggested)? Yesterday I was trading soccer and the only thing I did not like in api version is that FIRST the price appears in the market and shortly after appeares on my screen. If I place a stupid price and quickly want to cancel it, I can't. The price has to be in the market for a very short time (but still can easily be taken by a quick bot), and after I am able to do somthing with it (modify or cancel).

I was lucky yesterday to place a stupid bet and cancel it, but it won't last for a long time.
I didn't notice such a problem with non-api version and I was very happy.

As for speed, I guess both programs are the same, did not notice any differences (however in api version you also get the last price matched which is very cool).

In 80% I use non-api and in 20% I use api (especially aus games). Gary, if it is not too much trouble, please modify non-api version.

Much appreciated!
