Even though my duties have changed somewhat and my response times might be a bit delayed at times, you know I'm going to always do my very best to make sure SBR posters taken care of in a timely fashion Katestale.

Now they are scaring me!! lolol I might have to bet the old fashioned way if they don't get this fixed before prime time. Not surprised that its down, but am surprised that no response from them. Normally they get you out an email saying "we are aware and working on it" but nothing today.

Hi Guys,

We are aware of the issue and we are urgently working to repair our API. We expect this issue to be resolved quickly. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Thanks for providing us with your presence as well as the info our posters have requested from your fine establishment.

I would also like to add the site is still up and taking bets. For example, the NFL game tonight has been very liquid.

This has only affected our customers who were using our API.

Warm Regards

Hello MatchbookMike, you said on May 5th: `EUR, GBP and HKD coming soon. Maybe CAD and AUD as well.`
We´re now more than 4 months later, so I´m wondering:
When are the new currencies introduced and Why does it takes so long?

in your dreams, a no US + USD exchange must be the dumbest thing on the planet.

The API has been down since noon ET today, and is still down now, over 8 hours. Most markets have no offers up now.

katstale · 09-09-11, 08:25 AM

It is down STILL this morning for me. I mean this is tuff for us who got use to this. I know, I know, call me lazy, but they encourage people to embrace this technology then when this happens. If its not back by noon today i will be

Might be a stupid question, but could anyone explain to me (or give me a link) how to use such an API? Can you link that to excel? Help greatly appreciated...

katstale · 09-09-11, 11:30 AM

bump

Maybe they are getting closer to fixing it. I can read my balance now, but still not getting any lines.

danger · 09-09-11, 12:03 PM

Hopefully they are adding more servers for the NFL season.

bigboydan · 09-09-11, 01:35 PM

Matchbook is obviously aware of this issue and I'm sure they have it resolved soon enough gentlemen.
