I am trying to implement a “keepAlive” call to Betfair’s API and thereby keep my session alive. Unfortunately, I am having some difficulty, and I am hoping that someone here can help me.
(Please see the attached images for information from Betfair’s documentation on keepAlive)
I have attempted the following, but while I get a response, it is not the response I am supposed to get according to the documentation:
urlAlive = "https://identitysso.betfair.com/api/keepAlive"
headers = Dict("X-Application" => strip(appKey), "X-Authentication" => strip(sessionToken), "content-type" => "application/json")
body = HTTP.escapeuri(headers)
res = HTTP.request("POST", urlAlive, body=body)
I get the following response:
“”"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
