Introduction
The world of online gambling is an ever changing beast which allows very few people outside of 👏 the business to take a glimpse into their ever changing world. Betfair is one of the few online bookies to 👏 allow everyone access to their API. This is because of the Betfair Exchange which works on similar principles as that 👏 of the Stock Market on Wall Street, with millions of users backing and laying bets in the hopes of making 👏 some money. Some people are able to earn a living on the Exchange but it isn’t for everyone as many 👏 of these people are using bots to place these bets by using the API.
When I first wanted to start using 👏 the API it was mainly to track how odds of certain markets would change over time and in the future 👏 analyse these changes and see what was causing the changes in price. When reading through the Betfair API documentation there 👏 wasn’t exactly clear instructions on how to gain access to it, and also helped by the fact that the documentation 👏 hasn’t really been updated since it was uploaded. So below I have created a basic guide on how to gain 👏 access to the Betfair API and how to use it. The full Notebook can be accessed from my GitHub. Also, 👏 before you start make sure you are able to access/place bets on Betfair. I also started trying to access the 👏 API on Google Colaboratory but was denied access as the servers are based in the US, a country that can’t 👏 access Betfair.
