To Walkerman....Thank you for your expert advice, education and direction.
I now have visibility of the One Drive options.

Have a great day, and Christmas greetings to you, Shaun and all other forum users.

Regards...gsdanger

Glad you got it sorted, thanks Walkerman

The only thing left on this program to do is get the auto refresh sorted, although my code is sloppy i have learned a great deal.

Looking forward to my next project.

There are a couple bug fixes that i made while testing, i won't post everythime i make a change but i have added a version number that represents the date i make changes, so if any one is interested in keeping up with this or any other project i may do just compare what version you have with the current one, i did update the code posted also here.

I have made a couple updates, the current program uses the T/Points as a rating and converts them to a price R/Price so you can look for overs or unders in the top couple runners.

I also found an api link to the form so i can start adding form information.

Shaun: try colour like this?
a_res = **** "1st":'darkgreen', "2nd":'gold', "3rd":'blue', "4th":'purple' ****

colour = 'black'
if res in a_res:
colour = a_res[res]

key error happens if your key is not in the dictionary.

Time for an update.

I have spent many hours practicing my python skills, my work is pretty average but functional.

my latest creation that can be found in my link is "BSP - 16-05-21" there is an exe plus a txt with code.

As with my other programs this will allow you to access the TAB website and gather race info, it collects race results if known.

I have included 5 systems, these aren't the holy grail but more ideas on what is possibly with python and some imagination.

The program prints out the system bets in a format that can be imported to excel, i also included a timezone list so races are listed in your timezone.

There is an info tab that explains how to run things.

have fun and any thoughts appreciated.

Have TAB changed their conditions for accessing their api? On their webpage they have an application form in order to connect to TAB. I applied a few years ago but got refused with no explanation.

Looking again, under How it works the api seems to be available.
So what is happening?
Any clarification would be great.
I am still using the Tatts api but TAB have turned off the account features and so I cannot place bets automatically.
Ta,
Martin

I haven't looked at placing bets but i know i have access to all prices and form, this is just my experiment in learning to program a functional replacement for excel as i still use gruss to place my bets.

For the moment i am providing all my python code so others can learn.

Thanks for that. I will look at moving across to TAB's api as soon as I can. Ta, Martin

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
