    Xml odds feed

    Aloha, i was wondering if anyone had any experience with an xml odds page feed. I am trying to integrate and odds page onto a website. The website is php and the odds feed is xml, I think I need an xml reader that converts xml code into php so it is compatible but not sure. If anyone has real experience with this or knows of a solution please give me a hand. Thanks plays

    searching for "xml parser php" should get you plenty of options.

    Are you are trying to take xml documents and place them into a php website?

    Or take the xml and store offline for further processing?

    you really dn't need the xml speed just scrape the data from webpage, only issue with that is if webpage undergoes a slight alteration in design you will have to rewrite the scraping code

    why make ur own service, use sharkfeeder or something where you can integrate lines on ur page for free

    are people really going to go to ur page for live odds when sbr, sportsoptions, smto, donbest, oddschecker, oddsportal is available?

    Some books take countermeasures against IP addresses that scrape too often. You don't experience this problem with XML feeds.

    I really didnt want to just scrape another companies info, not into ripping people off. And I already have free odds pages I can use from many sportsbooks. This is an live xml odds feed from many different sportsbooks on one page, something like what sbr has.
