How to get UK Race numbers for webscraping

[Guest]

For the Australia horse racing market, Betfair returns Event Details and Market Name such as: Echuca AUS R1 2100m Mdn. So I know this is Race 1 at location Echuca.

For a European race (ie using the UK Betfair endpoint) I only get
Deauville (FRA) 1300 Hcb


Is there a way to get the race number? I want to use this race number to scrape other websites. If not what do others do for scraping?

The only other way around it is to scrape the entire Deauville racing events for the day and store in a database to use.

Hi Mate,

Try using (www.outwit.com) Steep learning curve but will scrap anything you need...

Cheers

Hey thanks Tas Punter, mate its all good I write all my own scraping software so there is not problems there. I just really wanted to grab the horse racing numbers in the UK races and it makes scraping a bit easier. But I do have a work around.

Thanks for the reply mate.
