Logging in using BetfaiR returns false

Question

I followed the instructions as set out in your ebook and am unable to log in. Would very much appreciate any assistance, in fixing this issue.

 

Thanks

Answer 1

 

I've fixed it:

login(username,password,productId=82)

now works, the manual says  22, possible typo?

Comments

Yes - thanks for the heads up, it's an error rather than a typo: 22 is the subscription product Id, 82 is the free API productId.  Will change in the next release of the ebook.

I'm getting the same problem but, curiously, the same answer isn't working:

> login(username, password, 82)
[1] FALSE

Grateful for any ideas.

I am getting the same error with product_id of 82.

Have changed my password to something simple (no special characters) and still not logging in.

I will switch from Ubuntu to Windows and give it one last go otherwise it is back to .Net

Okay, have tried windows and now I get the following error -

Error in function (type, msg, asError = TRUE)  :
  SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details:
error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Have the owners of Betwise given up? I don't want to be wasting my time on something for which there is no bug fixing of the betfaiR API.

Did SSL stuff from another post and now I get the same error as I got in Ubuntu.

Thanks but no thanks. Back to .Net

WHAT of You Do?

I was also getting this error. When I tried using "betfairly" package, it mentioned that I needed to fund the account. Once I funded the account, I was able to login using "library(betfair)" also.

Logging in using BetfaiR returns false.

I've been using the package and could login to betfair some weeks ago. Since recently i cant be able to login anymore. The login() functions returns false.
I did not change any code in my script or anything. My account is also funded (has money on it).

Was there any change in the login on betfair side? HAs anybody had any login issues since recently ?
