Betfair Games have implemented a web service that provides an Application Programming Interface (API), allowing developers to write their own applications that seamlessly integrate with the Betfair Games system. This offers the potential to build a wide range of applications from a new client front end to the system as an alternative to the existing website, to an automated betting tool.
The implementation of the web service uses a framework known as Representational State Transfer (REST). This enables developers to interact with the Betfair Games system using simpler development and runtime technologies like HTTP and XML.
