We have released a new beta version for Betfair.
With this version we have added support for betfair's new streaming API, so expect bugs and please don't use any significant stakes until you are 100% confident of software operation.. We can not stress this enough, and in the coming weeks, please use minimum stakes in testing. Because we are the first major software vendor to release this new technology, both you and us are the Guniea Pigs / lab rats, and previous experience of Betfair releasing new API technology has taught us that it can take months before they have a robust and stable platform, and all the significant bugs have been identified and fixed.
On the plus side, their new "push" streaming technology does have the potential to decrease data transfer times to less than 50% of the current API, as the data only has to travel one way in shorter bursts, so those on slower connections and outside of Europe should notice a significant performance increase.
You can download from here.
NOTE - ESA streaming is not supported for AUS markets.
Also, the beta will still use API-NG by default. To turn on streaming, open the API settings Manager, and select from it's menu, "Use Streaming Where Available".
You should then set MPC for prices to 1. Call frequency for prices will now control how often prices are refreshed on your computer screen.
Slow computers can still use defaults, but if you have a fast computer, try something faster (20 ms works OK on my laptop)
If you find any issues with the software, please report them in this forum.
Thanks
