The TAB api is accessible to pull down race data and odds and so on, but to place bets - and any access to the accounting api - you need to be approved by TAB - you will be given a client token that is used to create access tokens each time you place a bet.

When it started you needed to be Silver or (Gold?) status to get betting access to the api - that meant turnover of about $25k per year.

Not sure what the situation is now

Thanks for that. I don't want to have to throw 25k down the loo on bets I am not sure of. And I do not want to sit at my computer all day, every day to use my software and place bets manually. They have made it too hard if that is still the case. Ta, Martin

I am slowly getting python to replace what i used to do in excel, so far i can pull race data and results info, i can also get past form but only what is available on race day but still useful, i have also implemented one of my black book systems to make selections and print out those selections to txt doc.

i am having one issue when getting results if they are not available it throws a KeyError

I have looked at a few options for this error but none work, all i need is if no results just to skip this section, the program still runs regardless but better to not have errors i guess.

Code:


def check_results():
    global res1, res2, res3, res4

    urlR = "https://api.beta.tab.com.au/v1/tab-info-service/racing/dates/" + str(date) + "/meetings/R/" + \
           str(listbox1.get(ANCHOR)) + "/races/" + str(venue_numberbox.get()) + "?jurisdiction=NSW"
    result = requests.get(urlR)
    result1 = json.loads(result.content)
    res1 = ""
    res2 = ""
    res3 = ""
    res4 = ""
    try:
        res1 = result1["results"][0][0]
    except IndexError:
        pass
    try:
        res2 = result1["results"][1][0]
    except IndexError:
        pass
    try:
        res3 = result1["results"][2][0]
    except IndexError:
        pass
    try:
        res4 = result1["results"][3][0]
    except IndexError:
        pass
    return

def results1():
    global res, colour
    colour = "black"
    try:
        if res == "1st":
            colour = "darkgreen"
    except KeyError:
        pass
    try:
        if res == "2nd":
            colour = ("gold")
    except KeyError:
        pass
    try:
        if res == "3rd":
            colour = ("blue")
    except KeyError:
        pass
    try:
        if res == "4th":
            colour = ("purple")
    except KeyError:
        pass
    listbox3.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
    listbox4.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
    listbox5.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
    listbox6.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)

    listbox15.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
    listbox16.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
    listbox17.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
    listbox18.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
    listbox25.itemconfig(END, fg=colour)
