Fracsoft Historical Data service – available now

Betfair Developers Program     21 Sep 18:01

For the first time, fully time-stamped historical Betfair price data is available to Betfair users. Replay Betfair markets in real-time after the market has been settled. Watch with accuracy the changes to the spread and matched money.


Historical Betfair data services are available because Betfair has introduced a licensing scheme which allows third party vendors to collect and redistribute data.
The data is collected using the existing live Betfair API. It is therefore a representation of what Betfair users already see using the website or an API product to view the Betfair market.

A third party vendor called Fracsoft has signed up to the scheme and you can find more information on their service at http://solutions.betfair.com/apisolutions.php?id=131. The Fracsoft system is designed to give you high speed access to second-by-second views of a large number of Betfair markets, currently stretching back to early 2006. This means you can now:

• Analyse the past real performance in Betfair markets of your selection before you bet
• Compare previous similar situations to give you an edge
• Learn the market behaviour of a new sport without throwing your money away
• Predict future price movements from historical information

To keep up to date with historical data services bookmark the historical data section of the Betfair Solutions Directory – http://solutions.betfair.com/apisolutions.php?viewmode=result&c=3&apid=22.

To find out more on the Fracsoft service go to http://solutions.betfair.com/apisolutions.php?id=131 or email the Betfair Developers Program team: bdp@betfair.com

    This is precisely the sort of material that Betfair themselves should be integrating into their website, in a user-friendly format.
    So that, for example, alongside a horses form (via Timeform) one could also call up his betting history; graphs etc…
