Apologies if there is aleady a thread for this somewhere, but I couldn't find one.
Are there any basic tutorials for using the Betfair API?
[My intent is to use an excel spreadsheet to interact with multiple Betfair markets for automated triggered betting.
I have the excel algorithm working as I want it using a lot of IF AND OR statements, and I can make cells say back/lay and other cells give the price I want etc based on a number of inputs (current price of back, lay and the amount I stand to win or lose based if the selection wins/loses) and I have cells on the spreadsheet that indicate what I want it to do with each selection. eg back @1.20 and lay @1.1.]
The stage I would like to work on now is getting the spreadsheet to interact with Betfair, retrieve the information I want, enter this information into the spreadsheet I have, and then execute the bets that the spreadsheet produces into Betfair.
My question is quite general: Are there any basic resources for using the Betfair API for automated triggered betting? I have limited knowledge of coding and everything on the betfair site appears like jargon to me, which makes me question whether using the Betfair API is the correct option for me. I have a decent knowledge of excel and I have started learning VBA if this helps choose the direction I go in.
