Crate botfair

botfair

The botfair crate provides Rust bindings for the Betfair SportsAPING. Login and keep-alive are handled automatically by the BFClient.

The BFClient class implements Sync and so can safely be wrapped in an Arc for multithreaded use with the same session token.

Example

Note that botfair requires your certificate to be in pfx format. In order to achieve this given a key and crt file, you can use the following openssl command:

openssl pkcs12 -export -out client.pfx \
    -inkey client.key -in client.crt

botfair assumes no password protection for the pfx file.

use botfair::generated_types::{MarketBook, MarketCatalogue};
use botfair::generated_types::{MarketFilter, MarketId};
use botfair::result::Result;
use botfair::{BFClient, BFCredentials};

fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let bf_creds = BFCredentials::new(
        "my_username".to_owned(),
        "my_password".to_owned(),
        "/path/to/pfx/file".to_owned(),
        "my_appkey".to_owned()
    ).unwrap();

    let bf_client = BFClient::new(
        bf_creds,
        None
    ).unwrap();

    // This is all rather verbose at the moment.
    // What will the future bring?
    let market_filter = MarketFilter {
        textQuery: None,
        exchangeIds: None,
        eventTypeIds: None,
        eventIds: None,
        competitionIds: None,
        marketIds: None,
        venues: None,

    };

    // List ten arbitrary markets
    let catalogues: Vec<MarketCatalogue> =
        bf_client.listMarketCatalogue(market_filter, None, None, 10, None)?;

    println!("{:?}", catalogues);
    Ok(())
