    Default Web scraping

    Does anyone have experience of using a web scraping tool? Not technical when it comes to programming/development, but I've been looking into a tool that can compile football odds from bet sites, preferably directly onto csv for upload.

    Thanks a million

    Have you contacted each site you want to scrape to get permission to use what they published?

    Thanks Rick, a few affiliate parters have agreed in principle. Nothing will be used without prior permission

    Sounds good,

    The displaying of odds on sites seems to be something that is constantly changing all the time since very few operators offer a decent solution that is easy to implement that is not cost prohibitive.

    Guys most if not all sportsbooks offer the prices in either an xml or json format. Very easy to convert to whatever format you want.

    If you are planning to update manually, as is suggested by the csv comment your going to be a mile behind the real price. Remember these prices change quick.

    Send me a pm if you need any more help.

    Just replied. I will point you in the right direction if I can. Im just in transit between cities at the moment. So I might not get back to you for a day or two.
