bettRtab

Overview

This package is designed to allow users to obtain clean and tidy TAB betting markets for both racing and sports. It gives users the ability to access data more efficiently.

Future Plans

I hope to expand this to allow for interacting with the betting API - potentially giving users the ability to place bets through the API. To do this, I’m still waiting on the TAB Digital Team to respond to a request for an access token to be able to test out some functions.

Installation

You can install the released version of bettRtab from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("JaseZiv/bettRtab")
library(bettRtab)

Usage

The functions in this package should work without hitch locally, but running these in an automated way (GitHub Actions, cloud, etc) may lead to requests being blocked.

To get around this, you will need access to proxies and would need to set configs at the start of your scripts similar to the following:

httr::set_config(httr::use_proxy(url = Sys.getenv("PROXY_URL"),
                                 port = as.numeric(Sys.getenv("PROXY_PORT")),
                                 username =Sys.getenv("PROXY_USERNAME"),
                                 password= Sys.getenv("PROXY_PASSWORD")))
