I've seen LinusP has shared some python libraries. I'm not a coder but would like to start gathering Betfair data.
My question is how long would it take an experienced python coder to develop a simple programme to record data using these libraries?
I've used someone in Freelancer and just want to get an idea of costs.
Thanks

Maybe 30 seconds is pushing it but the libraries are designed to make it very easy to record data (streaming or polling)Crazyskier wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 7:57 pm...so at the usual £20ph...LinusP wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 6:57 pmAbout 30-40 secondsrobsmith wrote: ↑Sun Apr 11, 2021 1:41 pmI've seen LinusP has shared some python libraries.

Have you got any database skills? You could be looking at 50,000+ market change events on an active race just pre-play, and at that rate you'll blow-up Excel before the end of the day. But I haven't looked at the Python libraries so I don't know what they store and where.
30s It takes 30s to climb Mount Everest if you start 6ft from the top.
Maybe it's the way I learn or just me being a bit thick but figuring that stuff out on my own takes 50x longer than having it explained 1-1. My problem is TMB....too many birthdays.
