Hi there
Anybody having trouble loading "Directory Listing of Betfair Price Files"? I keep getting "Internal Server Error".

Looks like the files have gone!

That's annoying as I often referred to those files.

I have an automated script that downloads the files daily and that's working OK, seems there's more likely a problem with accessing the directory rather than the individual files

Checked todays scrape and it got all the files I needed like
https://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/pri ... 052013.csv etc

Hi
Can someone confirm what these are? Are they just CSV files that show the day's events/odds?
Thanks
regards
Peter

Hi Spreadbetting
Could you possibly post the full address of the link as I don't seem to be able to get it. Cheers.

The main folder is https://promo.betfair.com/betfairsp/prices/

with dwbfpricesukwin25052013.csv at the end.

The files I scrape are just the UK and IRE win/place ones and the formats always the same just different dates so easy to automate.

dwbfpricesireplace(insert todays date).csv
dwbfpricesirewin(insert todays date).csv
dwbfpricesukplace(insert todays date).csv
dwbfpricesukwin(insert todays date).csv"


I don't grab the USA or Greyhound stuff but they'll be in a regular format too like dwbfpricesUSAwin25052013.csv I'd guess
