Is there a full api documentation ?

https://www.fairlay.com/api/browser/ is useless

please give me an example how to query only basketball events


https://www.fairlay.com/api/v1/events/?categories=basketball
https://www.fairlay.com/api/v1/events/?categories=8

does not work for me

what does  pk mean?
what does status mean?  what is the set of values?
etc etc

python is joke  (.net or java examples make more sense)  
a real developer/programmer will never use python

https://www.pinnaclesports.com/en/api/manual#code-examples (.net and java examples, not python)
Placebet.cs https://gist.github.com/pinnacleapi/9e5aa684e3b99058cde5

You also use Pinnacle API to offer your odds and i am sure your preferred language to get the feed and all data is not python  Wink

Bug: If you search country names (for example  Italy)  and there is a basketball match Italy - Russia then it wont appear in the search result


Until now that is all we have as API documentation. Indeed the query you asked for is (unnecessary) complicated: You need first to query for a tag (like in the find tag example https://www.fairlay.com/api/examples/ -- https://gist.github.com/anonymous/1bd31a9df65ef49fcac6#file-find_tag-py)
Then you query for events of that given tag id.
Category search isnt implemented. We need to and we will improve the API soon! Stay tuned.

please add handball overunder/handicap too (from pinnaclesports )

add search button  (now you can search only with pressing enter)

We will add handball & cricket next in about 3 or 4 weeks.  

Withdrawals to Multi-signature addresses might take longer as it's not that straight forward and there are more urgent matters right now.

@BTCBinary   Yes, we are like Betfair - just in a cool way & without fees on sports.

Why cant i add any bitcoin cashout address?


Address 

Unsupported Bitcoin address version (5). Only version 0 is currently supported.

For example : 3A6Z9WRwrGGq32K9hB5MLzkwVSyof6T1aE    (by greenaddress.it )

We'd like to announce our provably fair Dice Game for anyone interested.  

https://www.fairlay.com/event/category-decimal/fun/

There are 0% fees on all Fun markets resulting in a very low house edge of 0.15% and below.

All Dice markets are settled right away after one bet is matched.

Yes, all bets are refunded to asnwer the last question. We have no cashout fee at the moment.

We display markets a few minutes longer for the case that our closing times are not up to date. The fact that the closing time was off by one hour seems strange. If that happens more often, please tell us again. We couldn't reproduce it for now.

The Decentralized TCP/IP Internet Protocol
Thus we charge a 0.5mBTC fee for cashouts from anonymous betting.

What's the cashout fee after opening an account instead?

Regarding Match Spread for HomeTeam -1: if HomeTeam wins by exactly one goal, all bets are refunded in full?

These are all events that have already started (pinnacle doesn't offer the lines anymore).
It just looks cluttered.

We recommend an account if you plan to place more than one bet and I hope that's the case.  The anonymous bets are only accepted after one confirmation and this can take a while these days. In the meantime the odds can change or the market can close.  Furthermore on-chain betting increases the bitcoin traffic and therefore the manual work on our side.  Thus we charge a 0.5mBTC fee for cashouts from anonymous betting.

 Sorry we have no help section right now and yes, the UI needs a bit of time to get used to, especially for people who never bet on an exchange like Betfair before.    But we are still in beta, so the UI will be improved in the next time. A bet slip is planned for example.

4 months left and your site still has the same bug(s )

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.11232236

Browsing your page:  Ivory Coast +2.5 is available



After click, the market is empty



Back button, and woala it shows correct, but only 1 market , the earlier opened market




If you search  one of the teams only 6 handicap markers available (like pinnacle)
It is time to remove the not available markets with fake back/lay values and not showing them when users browsing your site (or correct it to  - - )
Where the hell do you (the browsing page) read these old data  (back/lay values)  from ?  
It is your own database, so why cant you (page) read valid data from it?

thanks for the input. Keep in mind that the Pinnacle API is a bit slower than their GUI. Anyway, we will probably increase the update intervals for the eSports closing times as they seem to change more often.  I'll let you know when it's done.  
Regarding the time the markets are filled with orders is not in our hands.

EDIT:  We create new markets every 10 minutes based on the basic pinnacle feed. It usually takes not more than 15 minutes for the market makers to fill them up with orders.  So you should find every eSport market on Pinnacle after a maximum of 25 minutes.  Did you experience something else?

Not sure, but 25 minutes is probably too long for eSports:
1) A common format (at least in SC2) is a 4 player group, where the first two players play each other, then the other two players play each other, and then there is a loser's match and a winner's match, and lastly the winner of the loser match plays the loser of the winner match (perhaps this is called tournament format). In this case, the lines for the first 2 matches can be created in advance, but you need to keep up for the other 3 matches.
2) (this is relevant for all esports i believe) When there are multiple maps/rounds in a match, sometimes pinnacle only opens the market for the first map ahead of time, and opens the others as they go. In this case you also need to be updated frequently.

I'm not sure how they do it, but nitrogen is better in this regard.

This problem should be fixed now. If you experience any problems please let us know.

Sick.
Would you be willing to say who your market makers are by the way? For the sake of transparency.

Good news. After reaching out to our market makers we will provide markets much sooner (within 5 minutes after release) than before, especially eSports markets. It might take a week or two.
