TPD and COM

[Spike]

Hi, looking at the COM class reference I don't see anything related to TPD. Is it possible to access the TPD data via the COM interface? If not could this be added. I currently interact with BF directly via their API but the new TPD markets are not accessible via this route so I'm looking for options to access them.

Hi,

There is TPD Com object, it needs to be added into the User Guide.

getTpd(). Returns TpdSelection object with following properties:-
marketId As String
selectionId As String
distanceToGoInMetres As Double
fastestSpeed As Double
leaderDirection As Integer
leaderDistance As Double
leaderSpeed As Double
runningTimeInSeconds As Double
slowestSpeed As Double
timestamp As Date
totalDistanceInMetres As Double
saddleCloth As String
active As Integer
cadenceError As Double
metresBackFromLeader As Double
progress As Double
runningOrder As Integer
speed As Double
speedCoursePar As Double
speedRanking As Integer
strideFrequency As Double
strideFrequencyCoursePar As Double
velocityError As Double
velocityFluctuation As Double

Thank you, that's what I need and I appreciate your quick response.

Is there (or could there be) an event equivalent to pricesUpdated to flag fresh data?

the new TPD markets

?????

TPD is now covering all UK racing, but these new tracks (RMG) are not being provided direct through BF so those of us who use it that way are scrambling for the best way to access them. Gruss BA potentially provides quite a good option.

In Options|Preferences|TPD if you tick Update prices when TPD data updated then the prices are refreshed every time the TPD data is updated so you can then uses the prices updated event.

Thank you Garry.

Can you tell me whether this occurs after ALL runners have been updated (per market) or every time you get data from TPD? When I stream TPD via BF they update the runners in tranches so for each "full" update of all runners I might get data three or four times. I don't know if this is just a feature of BF's processes, whether it comes originally from TPD that way or how you handle it.

It's after TPD data for all runners has been received. It then displays the latest prices that have been received from Betfair at that time.
