This error happens when there's no updates on the odds:

  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pinnacle/endpoints/marketdata.py", line 117, in get_odds

    raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None

debugging it I got this:

Last time I checked you can use a league with no odds for it to get that response. At the time I used this league id on the odds api call: 1891
I've already seen two issues with problems with the return pinnacle sends (I believe they were related with not being in a region allowed), not sure why it doesn't just return a json with the message though.

When calling the get_bets routine of the betting endpoint without any arguments, I get

Missing fromDate. The fromDate must be a date in ISO 8601 format.
Missing toDate. The toDate must be a date in ISO 8601 format.

When setting from_date and to_date to datetime.utcnow() I get

Invalid fromDate. The fromDate must be a date in ISO 8601 format.
Invalid toDate. The toDate must be a date in ISO 8601 format.

from pinnacle.apiclient import APIClient
from pinnacle.endpoints.betting import Betting
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

username = 'foo'
password = 'bar'

api = APIClient(username, password)

last_hour_date_time = datetime.now() - timedelta(days = 1)
s = Betting(api).get_bets(from_date=last_hour_date_time.isoformat(), to_date=datetime.utcnow())
print(s)

´´

Whatever format I use, it always return this. Without isoformat, '2016-06-15' etc...

No arguments at all returns: 'message': 'Missing fromDate.

Since the latest commit, pandas is no longer required (unless I'm missing something).

I guess this might related to encoding, but not sure how to fix it yet.

I m using win10, python 2.7.
When I try to install the wrapper i get the following error:

Can you help me out?

But there's no v2 for placing straight bets in your wonderful wrapper. Could you please fix that?)

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:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pinnacle.apiclient'; 'pinnacle' is not a package

right after installation?

Hello! Your package is very useful, but it hasn't been updated for a long time. Do you plan to update it in the foreseeable future?

Hello @rozzac90 ,
I'm trying to retrieve fixtures using since parameter, but I'm getting some error. Note, that this only happened when I used sport_id=34 (volleyball).
I tested using sport_id=33 (tennis) and it worked perfectly.

Do you have any idea what it can be?

Thank you very much,
Rodrigo

I have a fresh install of Pycharm and Python 2.7.15 and Pinnacle Python API.
When I try the following command:
api.market_data.get_fixtures(29)
I get a response: "No json object could be decoded"

Dear rozzac90,

Could you help me why am I not getting data for the following:
