betfair2.py is a Python wrapper for the Betfair API.
>> pip install git+https://github.com/BenderV/betfair2.py.git- Python >= 2.7 or >= 3.3
You will need an Application Key to log in to the Betfair API. You can find instructions for creating a key at https://api.developer.betfair.com/services/webapps/docs/display/1smk3cen4v3lu3yomq5qye0ni/Application+Keys
For non-interactive login, you must generate a self-signed SSL certificate and upload it to your Betfair account. Betfair.py includes tools for simplifying this process. To create a self-signed certificate, run (you must clone this repo for this to work) :
invoke ssl
This will generate the following files in the certs directory :
betfair.crt
betfair.csr
betfair.key
betfair.pem
You can write SSL certificates to another directory by passing the --name parameter :
invoke ssl --name=path/to/certs/betfair
Once you have generated the files, you can upload the betfair.crt file to Betfair at https://myaccount.betfair.com/accountdetails/mysecurity?showAPI=1.
Create a Betfair client and log in :
>> from betfair import Betfair
>> client = Betfair('app_key', 'certs/betfair.pem')
>> client.login('username', 'password')Refresh session token :
>> client.keep_alive()Log out :
>> client.logout()List all tennis markets :
>> from betfair.models import MarketFilter
>> event_types = client.list_event_types(
MarketFilter(text_query='tennis')
)
>> print(len(event_types)) # 2
>> print(event_types[0].event_type.name) # 'Tennis'
>> tennis_event_type = event_types[0]
>> markets = client.list_market_catalogue(
MarketFilter(event_type_ids=[tennis_event_type.event_type.id],
market_projection=["EVENT", "COMPETITION", "RUNNER_METADATA",
"MARKET_START_TIME", "RUNNER_DESCRIPTION",
"MARKET_DESCRIPTION", "EVENT_TYPE"],
max_results=100))
)
>> markets[0].market_name # 'Djokovic Tournament Wins'Transform model to dictionary
>> from betfair import utils
>> markets = utils.model_to_dict(markets)Joshua Carp (jmcarp)
