This project is obsolete. As of November 10th, 2014, Betfair drooped support for the old version of their API. This package doesn't support the new generation API.
Have a look at abettor which seems to address new API.
The betfairly package allows to access most of the Betfair
API directly from R. The free API
is fully implemented. For the description of payed and free access types check
this page.
For the list of all implemented functions and the details of the current development status please see the todo.
For the basic usage please see examples.R.
Make sure that you have read the betfairly-package section from the
manual. before you
start using it.
You can install the most recent version of the spackage directly from github
with devtools package:
library(devtools)
install_github("betfairly", "vitoshka")Before reporting bugs please see the relevant section in the official Betfair documentation and ensure it's not a betfair service issue. Known issues are documented for each Betfair API action. See also the FAQ page.
The betfairly package is provided with absolutely no warranty. The documentation of the functional API is an adapted and abbreviated version of official Betfair documentation. Please refer to it for the complete reference.
