Betfair API client using Eventmachine and EM-Http

em-betfair is a work in progress evented client for the Betfair API. The following API calls have been implemented :

• login
• getMarket
• getSilksV2
• getAllMarkets
• getMarketPricesCompressed
• getMarketTradedVolumeCompressed

Usage

gem install em-betfair

gem "em-betfair", "~> 0.1"

Create an instance of the client

config = {
  "username" => "<YOUR BETFAIR USERNAME>",
  "password" => "<YOUR BETFAIR PASSWORD>", 
  "product_id" => "<YOUR BETFAIR PRODUCTID>", 
  "exchange_endpoint" => "https://api.betfair.com/exchange/v5/BFExchangeService",
  "global_endpoint" => "https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService"
}
bf_client = Betfair::Client.new(config)

Making a call to the API:

EM::run {
  bf_client.get_all_markets do |rsp|

    rsp.raw_response # access the raw response body
    rsp.parsed_response # access the Nokogiri XML object of the raw response
    rsp.hash_response # access a hash of the response data

    rsp.successfull # boolean for success
    rsp.error # API error message if not successfull

  end
}

Note, logging in to the API is handled internally by the client.
