It's been done, but when testing developments and not making money, it does not justify the cost of the per month subscription.
It is an ideal thing to have though cos the data is not a web scrape, it's consistent.
There were a few programs when SD was teletext feed, back up to 2006 or 2007, not sure which. These programs would use the service, free of course, via a special box or a card that slotted into the pc"s motherboard.
From then on the testings were unlimited and was no need to be online.
Some of those programs were capable of Excel transfers via coding.
The architecture was;

raw data feed in ---> database---> script editor ( Excel alternative)--text file and or dot matrix printer.
If the program was advanced enough, it would send the bet to.

All this came to a end when it all went to internet.
Since then the guys I know who were old school programmers went and got ordinary jobs or have since retired.

last I looked at SD, yes they do have some default API, but you need $$$ now to pay programmers to "make it happen" just so you can get the data directly to Excel.

Problem, can Excel handle the load ?
Is anyone willing to pay $65.00 per month for the data feed and not know the outcome? ( Trial and Error )

I can go on and on and on with this type of architecture....if you get it going, be interested to.
