    Provide feature complete high quality libraries in multiple languages

    Please provide feature complete high quality libraries in multiple languages (Java, Python, C#).

    You should provide a feature complete library handling all of the betfair apis, all of the requests, and all of the replies, for at least the languages specified.

    The libraries should be non bloated, and high quality (ie good performance, and not overly complicated to use).

    The existing libraries are ok, but would be better if its a simple download, plugin, and off you go with your own app.

    Thanks

    They have got api wrappers for most used programming languages, you must build your betfair application domain yourself.

      What I mean is, they should improve the quality such as:

      -integrate all the different apis into a single library, and standardise usage, (the stream lib requires the betting lib for auth, and the data structures are slightly different)
      -keeping it up to date with the API requests (having an official lib with all the requests)
      -reducing bloat (large size due to use of external libraries, could probably minimise this is a lot, by being selective about what external libs are used)
      -generally make it cleaner

      the libs are useable, but considering the size of the betfair corp, and the fact that they are providing an api, it would be wise to make them as good as possible.

        Don't want to make it too easy, I like the bar being set high, the fewer winning bot's the better.

          Betfair do not use their own api the way we bot traders on betfair use, therefor a lot of mess in implementation from our point of view, from the point of view of the end user.

          Actually what you suggest to them is useless, as I implemented what you ask for but is used by 1-2 developers only I know myself, so from betfair point of view it is just waste of time and resources.
