PS3838 : Could not get any response

Ask the Experts and Postman Tips
1

Hello,

I give Pinnacle API a try with Postman.
I use ps3838.com website which belongs to Pinnacle and is said to be the same API

I tested with success calls like login https://api.ps3838.com/, get sports https://api.ps3838.com/v1/sports etc

Then i tried calls like get fixtures https:// api.ps3838.com/v1/fixtures?sportId=29

and as a result i get :
Could not get any response
There was an error connecting to https:// api.ps3838.com/v1/odds?sportId=3.
Why this might have happened:

  • The server couldn’t send a response: Ensure that the backend is working properly
  • Self-signed SSL certificates are being blocked: Fix this by turning off ‘SSL certificate verification’ in Settings > General
  • Proxy configured incorrectly Ensure that proxy is configured correctly in Settings > Proxy
  • Request timeout: Change request timeout in Settings > General

Apparently it’s not about :

  • server response, self-signed ssl or proxy configuration as calls like login or get sports are working
  • timeout as my setting is to never timeout

Does anyone has an experience with that or an idea ?
I’m using Win10 Pro upto date and Postman 7.2.3
I uplodaed the screenshot of the console

Hey @Kynao

It looks like you have a gap between the https:// and api in the URL. This is causing that whitespace to be encoded and adding /%20 to the URL.

When removing that space does it do the same thing? Are you using an environment variable in that part of the request?

Hell, i’m stupid, i looked at the console, saw the %20 in the url, i was going to see that and then my brain split on another subject before i did the verification…

Thanks you dannydainton, it works now.
Where can i buy a brain?

Anyway Pinnacle provides 2 repositories here https://github.com/pinnacleapi :

The one i’m trying to use ie api documentation https://github.com/pinnacleapi/pinnacleapi-documentation/blob/master/APIChangelog.md

And the swagger documenation https://github.com/pinnacleapi/openapi-specification
Is there a way to directly import the swagger from there into Postman?

Glad you got it working!! :trophy:

You should be able to grab those yaml files locally and then import them into Postman using the Import feature, at the top left of the app.
