![]() ![]() 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. Also, before you start make sure you are able to access/place bets on Betfair. The full Notebook can be accessed from my GitHub. ![]() So below I have created a basic guide on how to gain access to the Betfair API and how to use it. 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. 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. 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. 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. Betfair is one of the few online bookies to allow everyone access to their API. 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. ![]()
