XML Feed or API scraper for a few bookmakers and exchanges I need a program that: 1. Gets all the events with their corresponding odds from certain bookmakers and exchanges (either through an XML feed that most of them offer or through the API, whichever gives the most recent odds). 2. It identifies when the feeds or APIs refer to the same events (this might be the only complicated part; I'm not sure but maybe some bookmaker would refer to a team as "Real Madrid”, while another as "R. Madrid"). 3. Stores each event with its corresponding: - SPORT - LEAGUE - EVENT NAME - TIME - EACH TYPE OF BET AVAILABLE FOR THAT EVENT (for example Money Line, Asian Handicap +1, Over 2) - FOR EACH TYPE OF BET, THE DECIMAL ODDS AT EACH BOOKMAKER AND EXCHANGE. For exchanges, it should deduct the commission in order to find out the real odds. For example this might be how an event looks like: SPORT: SOCCER LEAGUE: Spain, Primera Division EVENT NAME: Real Madrid vs Barcelona TIME: Sunday, 22.02.2015, 20:30 TYPE OF BET 1 WITH CORRESPONDING ODDS: Money Line, 1 (this means victory for the home team): 1.519 @ Pinnacle, 1.45 @ Sbobet, 1.55 @ [login to view URL], 1.6 @ [login to view URL], 1.49 @ [login to view URL], 1.52 @ [login to view URL], 1.5 @ Betfair, 1.51 @ BETDAQ, 1.49 @ Smarkets, 1.52 @ WBX, 1.53 @ Matchbook Money Line, x (this means draw): 2.4 @ Pinnacle, 2.45 @ Sbobet, 2.55 @ [login to view URL], 2.6 @ [login to view URL], 2.49 @ [login to view URL], 2.52 @ [login to view URL], 2.5 @ Betfair, 2.51 @ BETDAQ, 2.49 @ Smarkets, 2.52 @ WBX, 2.53 @ Matchbook Etc. Asian Handicap, -1: 2.41 @ Pinnacle, 2.44 @ Sbobet, 2.35 @ [login to view URL], 2.6 @ [login to view URL], 2.49 @ [login to view URL], 2.52 @ [login to view URL], 2.5 @ Betfair, 2.51 @ BETDAQ, 2.49 @ Smarkets, 2.52 @ WBX, 2.43 @ Matchbook 4. Displays in a HTML or some WPF/WinForms control all the data that was scraped, in an organized and sortable way. For example, with one click I should be able to sort the odds from highest to lowest for a certain type of bet from an event. [login to view URL] updates the data (scrapes again) every X seconds. I’m able to set X at whatever value I choose. This shouldn’t be too hard. In this thread you can find all the bookmakers and exchanges that I'm interested in and a bit of info on each of them. I will provide affiliate accounts where needed: [login to view URL] Please: - If you don't know anything about sports betting (decimal odds, American odds, etc.), do not bid! - The code must be commented in English; I want it to be very well structured and easy to understand, easy to modify; for example in the future I might add a new XML feed myself (from a new bookmaker) or I might process the scraped data somehow and show some extra results; I know C#. - Don’t forget that all the odds must be saved in a decimal format therefore conversions might have to be performed; - The code must be in C#, using .NET; - It's essential that it won’t have any bugs; please test it, retest it, abuse its functions, make sure it works without flaw on all the events, all the time! If I am content with the final results, we’ll probably work on more similar projects together in the future.
