Get site information through the api

[wprmdev]

I'm trying to get some data from the api but I'm not having success. I really don't know where to find them. (I'm already looking for hours, I hope someone can inform me)

The data I'm looking for is the same displayed on this page: (img: https://ibb.co/yVxq9NS) with information from a greyhound race.



NOTE: I tried to upload the image on the forum, but I received a message that the image type is not supported. (How does JPG and PNG not support ????)

That made me chuckle . We all need a smile these days.

"And those who come after us will say that the Britons of this generation were as strong as any in trying to figure out how the API works. That the attributes of self-discipline, of quiet good-humoured resolve and of fellow-feeling still characterise this country."

P.S On a serious note, thanks to all the amazing doctors and nurses in the nhs for the incredible work they are doing !

The API is VERY COMPLICATED. Writing software using it is going to take at least a year. You'll need a thorough understanding of the API and of how betting works. You'll need to be very well acquainted with whatever coding method/language you choose. You'll need to understand how all the data fits together; the relationships between all the pieces of data that you can retrieve via the API, and any hierarchies and dependencies in the data.

Apart from the API documentation there are hundreds of posts and replies on this forum. That is a lot of information.

If you really want to make the effort, write yourself some classes for all the different data returned by all the API calls. Take the time to understand how it fits together. Put some code together.

You want to fly before you can crawl?

Read my article: Betfair for Data Scientists

If you want to get data without knowing how to program, or having no time to learn/read api documentation, just put to notebook your credentations and run cell code.

Yep I started learning about the API back in 2014 and decided to make the jump from VB6 to VB.NET to code my bot. So glad I did as I have a multi thread application. I use a second thread to talk to the API to get my betting data. Although I have very fast internet sometimes I swear it takes over 0.5 seconds to pass JSON to the API and get a response !!! Would hate the Bot to lock up whilst waiting for some data.
