The Betfair Games Application Programming Interface (API) allows developers to write their own applications that seamlessly integrate with the Betfair Games system. This offers the potential to build a wide range of applications from a new client front-end system, to an automated betting tool.

The implementation of the web service uses a framework known as Representational State Transfer (REST). This enables developers to interact with the Betfair Games system using simple development and run-time technologies like HTTP and XML.

We would like to invite all new and existing Games API developers to use the new developers forum at http://forum.bdp.betfair.com.
