Sports Book Scraping Xml
Required skills: PHP
We require a PHP solution that collects odds data from a number of online sports books (bookmakers). Initially we want to develop two feeds that will allow us to test the system. However, after initial testing this will be expanded to include odds collection from around 50 bookmakers.
The basic idea is as follows:
- Odds are scraped from the bookmakers website.
- Odds are turned into a standardised XML format so that all bookmakers scraped report data in the same format.
- Additionally, all of the actual odds must be in the same decimal format - this may require some quick maths whilst scraping the data to convert the sometimes used fractional odds into decimal format.
Actual development
- Write two small .php file that can be installed on a web server that when called will scrape odds from an online sports book. Each will scrape from a different sports book (the names of these will be provided).
- The output of the page should be standardised XML data that will be read by the calling process.
- It is important that the scrapers read both games happening now and future games.
- Initially football should be the main focus but the scrapers must be expandable in order to allow for future growth by the inclusion of other types of sports.
- It is important that all football bets are scraped. For example, online sports books offer standard Win, Loose, Draw (1X2) and also Asian Handicap, Double Chance etc etc bets.
- XML specification will be provided on request.
