Overview

About

An R interface to the Betfair API. The user can choose the type of output to be XML, S4 (representing native Betfair SOAP types), nested list or simplified R objects ready to be used in the statistical analysis.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/betfairly/betfairly_1.2.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "betfairly_1.2.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (1.2) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
