Have you had a moment to take a look at the missing prices?

Question

It seems to be the last runner in every race (for me anyway).  I had a look at the code on github but i am by no means a competent programmer LOL, so I had no insights.

 

What I did find is the following for another "R" based betfair api bridge.

 

Maybe someone with more skills than myself can take a look?

have a look at the following link -->

http://code.google.com/p/betfairly/source/browse/trunk/R/funcs.R?r=20

do a search for -->

"if(length(res[[i]]) == 1L){ ## missing prices (happens)"

I hope I haven't upset anyone by posting this..

 

Happy new year to you all and thank you..

Hi,

There is a known bug with getMarketPrices which we haven't sorted yet - this is partly because the function is not really needed anyway (see next sentence) so it's not the highest priority.

getCompleteMarketPricesCompressed is the best function to use for getting prices.   It returns more comprehensive data than getMarketPrices and there are no bugs with  it.  

However, note we are also planning a new release of the library and documentation this year, so any bugs/ ommissions should be fixed.
