Football Scores, In-Play Stats & Momentum via script, using an API. Version 2

[betmoneybet]

Ok thanks ,nothing lasts for ever and a amazing piece of hard work

However i would still like to try and attempt to implement this live-data concept into some of my Guardian files.

I guess you are going down the paid API road. Would you mind saying what your preferred API feeds are for inplay football and tennis.
Thanks

For anyone still interested in this, Betfair stores scores and some stats in its in-play service. For some reason, it doesn't seem to be widely publicised in the API documentation. Betfairlightweight is a great tool to connect to the API and has the in-play service included as an endpoint. Links as follows:

https://github.com/betcode-org/betfair/ ... service.py

https://github.com/betcode-org/betfair/ ... service.py

I use Python and Betfairlightweight to access the Betfair API. The scores and stats can be brought in easily through the BetAngel API from a loop in python.

It may be possible to link this feature into a future update of Bet Angel?

I have strategies that use pre-match stats which I still take from Sofascore using a name comparison method with the Betfair Event Name. A bit more complicated but seems to work well for vast majority of games. Just need to repeatedly check the data Sofascore sends you for accuracy!! Had no issues with prematch data so far.

Hope that helps.

That's really useful info, thanks - will check it out

My method worked until SofaScore started garbling the data unless the request was sent internally, maybe that only affects in-play data
