Betfair API
Been on practice mode for a bit and going live again on Monday. Noticed odd random issues with automations cancelling bets with the log stating Betfair API problem. Remember reading a message from Betfair about this a few weeks ago. Am I right in thinking I just need to delete BA app and reinstall to fix the problem?
Can't locate recent log message, will likely get another one tonight, but received this email from Betfair Feb 20

make sure you are using ther latest version of BA (v1.51.2.0) as there were changes made to allow more secure comms to Betfair.Vorogue18 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 03, 2019 4:23 amCan't locate recent log message, will likely get another one tonight, but received this email from Betfair Feb 20

In play scalp automation threw up this message in log last night and failed to place 2 back bets in 1 race. Anyone know the meaning?

btw - as an aside, i would suggest that you open a new thread for any new query as it's highly likely that the fact that it's a new issue will get overlooked in the noise ofother competing messages...
Just experienced 'BetAngelHelper.APINGException' myself, the outcome was the kill part of a FoK order didn't execute and the bet was left in the market as the log suggested may happen.

Things continued to work as expected after this brief blip. Not sure if that's useful for anyone but thought I'd dump it here anyway for anyone searching in future. My inet connection's unstable atm so probably a factor as prev. alluded to.
