Writing Codes, Implementation, Integration.
This is a follow up article of Working with Pinnacle API.
Next operation is to get a list of leagues under a specific sports. Let’s try to continue from the previous view and get list of leagues.
Let’s go to PinnacleAPIHandler and make another class function to call the API operation v2/leagues?sportid={sportid}, and also get new Model ready for request and response of this API.
Today, I am here playing with Pinnacle API, get game information, run statistics, using C#.
The referecen document is here at “Getting started” https://www.pinnacle.com/en/api/manual#getting-started
First you need to create account here, https://www.pinnaclesports.com/secure/signup.aspx
Then get your client ID, store it to secure place, suggest place will be inside Web.config.
Please be sure that your account is funded, else the credential will not work.
OK, assuming that you got your account and got your credential in your web.config.
This is my first post on auto trader. Let’s start off with very simple MACD base trading, which is not profitable yet. We are going to work it out, so that it is profitable later.
An error happens, and when it happens you want to display something nice to users, here is how.
Go to web.config, find <system.web>
|
1 2 3 |
<system.web> <customErrors mode="On" /> </system.web> |
Now go to App_Start/FilterConfig.cs, make sure filter is added, as below;
|
1 2 3 4 |
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters) { filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute()); } |
Then go to Views/_Shared, create new view. Example;
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 |
@model System.Web.Mvc.HandleErrorInfo @{ ViewBag.Title = "PAGE TITLE"; } @section MetaContent { <meta name="robots" content="none" /> } <div class="container"> <h1 class="text-danger">SOME ERROR MSG</h1> <h2 class="text-danger">DESCRIPTION</h2> </div> |
When you get request but not able to return appropriate result back, it is good idea to return http status code to let them know what’s wrong.
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
using System.Net; public ActionResult Index() { return new HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest); } |
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.mvc.httpstatuscoderesult(v=vs.118).aspx
And here is the list full
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.httpstatuscode(v=vs.110).aspx
Ones that I use often
When input parameter is not valid
HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.BadRequest)
When the access is unauthorized
HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized)
When there is nothing to show (likely had no matching data record to create page)
HttpStatusCodeResult(HttpStatusCode.NotFound)
And when you want to tell search engine that page has been moved permanently, then use
|

return RedirectPermanent("URL HERE"); |
What is Google Fit?
Google Fit is a service from Google where you can keep Fitness related data from your Android devices and other connected services. There are three data types, and can be found from this link https://developers.google.com/fit/android/data-types.
Today I am leaving my note to fetch data from Google Fit for my new project.
Ideally I want to offer my web service for all region, all languages, but not enough time and knowledge to do that.
I am thinking of which languages to cover for my website. According to http://www.internetworldstats.com/, Top 10 languages used on Internet are;
English, Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, Portuguese, Japanese, Malaysian, Russian, French, Germany, others.
Today I am diving deeper into localization for ASP.Net. This post follows the my previous post, “Localization and bit of SEO“. I have followed much better written article by Nadeem Afana http://afana.me/post/aspnet-mvc-internationalization.aspx, and updating my old post.
My latest interest.

I have encounter this problem once in a while, but now I get it all the time, it’s a time to fix. Here is my error.
Timeout performing GET notification-43fc9640-2487-46d6-b56a-18f5f8a31d81, inst: 1, queue: 2, qu: 0, qs: 2, qc: 0, wr: 0, wq: 0, in: 0, ar: 0, clientName: XX-DELL1, IOCP: (Busy=0,Free=1000,Min=4,Max=1000), WORKER: (Busy=1,Free=4094,Min=4,Max=4095), Local-CPU: 100% (Please take a look at this article for some common client-side issues that can cause timeouts: https://github.com/StackExchange/StackExchange.Redis/tree/master/Docs/Timeouts.md)
I have now learn to follow the error message carefully and precisely. So I follow the link.
Are you getting network or CPU bound? Yes, I think so.
It said;
Verify what’s the maximum bandwidth supported on your client and on the server where redis-server is hosted. If there are requests that are getting bound by bandwidth, it will take longer for them to complete and thereby can cause timeouts. Similarly, verify you are not getting CPU bound on client or on the server box which would cause requests to be waiting for CPU time and thereby have timeouts.
OK, my local machine (Dell laptop) isn’t having enough CPU power or Network?
It looks like I am not having enough bandwidth? Are there commands taking long time to process?
I have about 300 keys, not even close to putting any weight no Redis, so I am crossing this out.
Was there a big request preceding several small request to the Redis that timed out? “qs” tell how many request were sent from the client to the server.
inst: 1, queue: 2, qu: 0, qs: 2, qc: 0, wr: 0, wq: 0, in: 0, ar: 0
qs is 2, that number 2 doesn’t tell much but I always see 2 aka not increasing, so this 2 can’t be hardly any damage to the service.. so I am crossing this out too.
Are you seeing high number of busyio or busyworker threads in the timeout exception?
Well, let’s see.
IOCP: (Busy=0,Free=1000,Min=4,Max=1000), WORKER: (Busy=1,Free=4094,Min=4,Max=4095), Local-CPU: 78.48%
It said, when the number of Busy threads is great than Min threads, you are likely paying a 500ms delay before network traffic is processed by the application.
I get 1 buys, and 4 min, so I am not getting delay here.
This only happens on local machine, which is a distance way from where Azure sits. This may be it? The recommendation was that Redis cache sits at same region.
OK, this isn’t solving my problem. Farther more search. I came to https://gist.github.com/JonCole/db0e90bedeb3fc4823c2.
Different sized client machines have limitations on how much network bandwidth they have available. If the client exceeds the available bandwidth, then data will not be processed on the client side as quickly as the server is sending it. This can lead to timeouts.
And recommended solution was basically saying, try to minimize the use of network bandwidth. Not exactly what I want to hear, but let’s try this.
Closed most of my Chrome windows, closed Skype, Skype Business anythings that is eating up the network usage.
Um.. 🙁 not solving the problem at all.
So far, my suspicion is that I am calling Redis at bad timing. I am accessing to Redis cache at time when Shared Parent View Frame, and all other cache accessing works OK.
