Hello,

Many thanks again for this great wrapper very useful for me. I wrote the following program to try to place a bet with the API. Today in NHL we have Tampa Bay visiting Detroit, I want to bet on the alternate line of Tampa Bay +1.5. Here is the small program I wrote.

!/usr/bin/python

import sys from pinnacle.apiclient import APIClient

today = '2017-10-16' home_team = 'Detroit'

api = APIClient('user', 'pass') sport_ids = api.reference_data.get_sports()

find hockey

for sport in sport_ids: if sport['name'] == 'Hockey': break

find fixtures

fixtures = api.market_data.get_fixtures(sport['id'])

extract wanted nhl events

for league in fixtures['league']: if league['name'] == 'NHL OT Included Alternates': break

get events for today

event_id = '' for event in league['events']: if event['starts'].startswith('2017-10-16'):

and find the event id for home team and not live betting (rotation < 9000)

if event['home'].startswith('Detroit') and int(event['rotNum']) < 9000:
  event_id = event['id']
  break

if not event_id: sys.exit(0)

get the line

print '\nFound event_id %s data: %s' % (event_id, event) line = api.market_data.get_line(sport['id'], league['id'], event_id, 0, 'SPREAD', 'Team1', handicap = 1.5, odds_format = 'AMERICAN') if line['status'] != 'SUCCESS': print 'Sorry line not found, continue digging...' sys.exit(0) print '\nFound line data: %s' % line risk = raw_input('Please enter risk amount for The following line, hitting enter WILL place the bet? ') result = api.betting.place_bet(sport_id=sport['id'], event_id=event_id, line_id=line['lineId'], period_number=0, bet_type='SPREAD', stake=float(risk), team='Team1', win_risk_stake='RISK', odds_format='AMERICAN', accept_better_line='TRUE') print '\nSubmitted bet data: %s' % result

If you don't include <, accept_better_line='TRUE'> in the place_bet call you get the following output:

linux@sue:~$ pint.py

With the program above the output gives this:
