API - NG?

According to some info I received from another bot developer, the new API-NG will be launched on 1st November and the old API shut down.

Is this correct?
Will a new version of MFPro be released in time for the change?

Going on past experiences of Betfair upgrades, I expect nothing will work correctly for a few days after 1st November

Hi rubold,

Please see my answers in the topic with the same subject:

Forum Newbie - MFP ver 6.5.0.23

Keeping my fingers crossed here. I just hope that everything will just be a smooth one.

Old API switch off has been delayed to 10th November, I am informed.

That's correct rubold. I guess there are still many bot developers who are struggling with the migration, hence the delay courtesy of BetFair.

So, should we expect that all V6 and V7 variants will cease working on 10th November (midnight of 9th?) ?

Hopefully they will just stop - not continue but with errors giving the potential for large losses if we load them up on the evening of the 9th as usual.

I presume that to hedge any bets placed on the evening of 9th we will need V8 fully installed and operational with the correct triggers after (midnight/ 00:01 am?) on the 10th Nov?

Can you confirm any of this please?

Thanks

I don't know enough to confirm any of your queries, but having experience of Betfair "upgrades" we can expect that things will go anything but smoothly.

Rubold, I entirely agree.

Personally I am a little surprised that Welldone have not emailed all users to make them aware of impending changes that will make their software (V6 & V7) unusable - as far as I understand it.

If you have not visited the forum for a while one would be blissfully unaware.
