The Sports Application Programming Interface (API) is the platform on which participants in the Developers Program are able to build customised tools and interfaces to use with the Betfair (Sports) Exchange.Normally users will read market information, place bets, and check current bet details and account statements via the Betfair web interface. With the Sports API, you can communicate directly with the Betfair database in XML format via a SOAP interface. By using the Sports API, your application can provide functionality and specialised operations not otherwise afforded by the web interface.
The Sports API is independent of the Betfair web interface; therefore you can build stable, custom functionality and interfaces to suit your betting methodology. Changes in the web interface will not affect the operation of your program. |
