Sportsbook xml feeds

[chachi]

or php via cli might be an option ...

[BetWeather]

if you are getting ajax updates you should be able to scrape them and build a database. python has a lot of good libraries for this...

Yes but... you can't use client side javascript to scrape a site that on
a different domain.

so if you have a web page on your site that has client side js and XML that you
would like to scrape another site (xml lines for example) you can't do it.

Cross domain security violation.

You have to use server side XML (php or asp etc)

i dropped an XML binding component on a form and it generated 7000 lines of code? brute force works best. also wonder how to fit a VB implementation on a floppy?

[chachi]

There are plenty of decent generic PHP scraping routines/methods ... google is your friend

Does Betfair have an xml feed?
Skybook?

[bookie]

Does parlaymakers.com use this feed to serve up their lines? Or do they have some kind of special deal with pinnnacle?

According to their blog they have no special deal or access, and the site is built on the same free xml feed that's available to anyone.

Skybook?

Betfair has a webservice and a public API available to work with it. There are several wrappers written for all kinds of languages that simplify the process, you can probably find one that will do what you need.

Is an odds comparison site like oddschecker using XML feeds for all of the books it covers?

[tommygun]

can someone explain in plain english what xml is, and what it is used for?

[chachi]

XML is a universal method of representing tabular data (or any data at all) in a structured yet freeform textual format which can be parsed/displayed by a browser or custom tool.

I'll post more as I find my old source code and notes, they're on a machine here someplace

Will happily accept any unwanted points to assist me restarting my wagering after a 2+yr layoff

Thanks boys ... much appreciated

Hello chachi,

That's a good list for a start.
I accidentially found this one:

http://linesmaker.com/live_odds/feeds/

If you will find your old source code and notes and you can post more feeds here it would be highly appreciated.
Thankx mate.

[chachi]

Yes the linesmaker setup is good but I prefer to gather direct from the source ...

Is an odds comparison site like oddschecker using XML feeds for all of the books it covers?

Anyone know the answer to this?

Instead of XML feeds, are they using HTML filtering which they've programmed for all of these sports at all of these books?

[chachi]

mixture of both as far as I am aware ... BetGenius is the underlying provider for bestbetting's site and a handful of others

[pats3peat]

very interesting

Most likely, they are scraping the sites rather than relying on an XML feed. XML feeds tend to be delayed when compared to the lines you see on the book's site. The more expensive services (Don Best comes to mind) probably either have an exclusive XML feed or some kind of deal to receive instant updates, or they rely on old fashioned scraping.

[GJMike]

When I was at GJUpdate, we had exclusive feeds. It was built right into the sportsbooks system to push us changes as soon as they edited their line in the sportsbook admin screens. Some XMLs you find will be live, some you will find will be delayed.

Good info, thanks

[chachi]

Indeed ... cheers for that GJ

[gvigliani]

Do you know xml feed for the bookmakers BETPIU and DollaroPoker or DollaroPk ?
Thank'2

[the_mathman]

this is a great thread!

I love the pinnacle XML file!

[Joe Dogs]

exceptional info

[splash]

lines.bookmaker.com

[jgilmartin]

lines.bookmaker.com

Holy shit! Is that new?

[splash]

Holy shit! Is that new?

No, I used that to learn how to scrape xml about a year ago.

[Flight]

But how did you find the URL for lines.bookmaker.com?

No one has mentioned an XML feed for that site before

That helps me out a lot, thank you

[uva3021]

Damn bookmaker seems like a bitch to navigate, Pinny's is so easy its a spoon feeding

I use DOM with js or vb to extract XML, but actually today I decided to start learning python for the sake of resources and speed

[chachi]

PHP/JSON arrays have some useful methods for XML also

[Flight]

I use C# - Deserialize direct to object model

with LINQ, this is a lovely solution.

[chachi]

I figured most here wouldn't be experts in c# or such a language hence the php suggestion, but yes that is indeed an elegant solution to the headache that is xml
