For example you can request information by:- bookmaker i.e. only William Hill, or Bet365 and Ladbrokes only by time i.e. by requesting the only updated odds by course i.e. only races at Kempton Park for example Of course if you want all matches for each of the odds types we offer and all bookmakers currently being quoted then you can have that too.

5 Horse Racing XML Feed description Base URL The base XML documents can be found at the following URLs European Horse Racing Live feed server Backup server/ Asian primary server Either server can be used as a live primary or live back depending on whether your main access point is from Europe or Asia. In order to access the feed you will need a valid TXODDS username and password Authentication As the AHC Feed is configured on a per account based system, all files requested must be tagged with your specific user name and password to gain access. Additionally access is restricted by the IP address of the computer which will read the feed data. This IP address must be registered with TXODDS before you can access the feed(s) You will be assigned a unique username and password once you setup a TXODDS user account and subscribe to the XML Feed service. Please contact us via the Contact details section for more information. Requesting Odds Data It is very important to understand how to request the odds data correctly to ensure you get the best possible performance and reliable data. On many systems data can be locally cached to improve performance but this is obviously something you do not want for real-time data collection. TXODDS provide the timestamp request feature to ensure no data is cached and you have the very latest data from our servers at all times. The sequence for requesting data should be as follows:- 1. Make your initial request for the type of odds you require to prime your odds database ( or memory array,table etc.) e.g. Note: the authentication strings are removed for clarify) 2. Now record the server s timestamp (Timestamp=) returned for each of the above calls Copyright TXODDS Sport Betting Limited All rights reserved. Page 5 of 25

6 <races time=' :36:53' timestamp=' '> 3. Use the recorded timestamp for each of the previous calls for your next calls: Continue to use the &last=timestamp for all subsequent calls for odds updates Race Fixtures and Odds Requesting the latest racing odds The Horse Racing feed combines both the course/race fixtures with the bookmakers odds into a single feed for ease of use. To populate your local database with the last odds for each race you need to make a single request USAGE Example Example 1 All Racing Odds Exampl e <races time=" :53:45" timestamp=" "> <race mid="50238" tipex-matchid="54292" xsid="0" lastupdate=" :57:16" Live="0"> <time> t15:55:00</time> <group id="20502">hrukinaas</group> <bookmaker name="bet365" Place="1/4" Rank="3"> <horse id="206870" horse="pretty Famous"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="13" recdate=" :49:43"/> <horse id="208949" horse="staccato Wolf"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="17" recdate=" :49:44"/> <horse id="211308" horse="taggsisland"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="6.5" recdate=" :49:43"/> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="6" recdate=" :51:09"/> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="5.5" recdate=" :52:36"/> <horse id="211315" horse="baunaniska"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="21" recdate=" :49:44"/> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="26" recdate=" :50:58"/> <horse id="214230" horse="the Fairy"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="8" recdate=" :49:43"/> <horse id="214487" horse="standinthesunlight"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="26" recdate=" :49:44"/> </bookmaker> </race> {. etc } </races> Copyright TXODDS Sport Betting Limited All rights reserved.

7 Request updates only To request the odds quote from a specified time you can use the TimeStamp request option. Please see the Requesting Odds Data section for processing guidelines. To know the latest odds update you need to track the TimeStamp attribute in the document root <races time=" :13:22" timestamp=" "> USAGE Example &last= Example 1 All updates only This will request all odds updates since Wed, 12 Aug :13:22 (GMT) Exampl e wd&last= Note: Please only use timestamps returned from our server on a previous request when using the &last= option. The timestamp is based upon the last time ( on our server) that an update was applied, so if a customer generates their own servers time updates can be missed. <races time=" :14:41" timestamp=" "> <race mid="51588" tipex-matchid="55647" xsid="0" lastupdate=" :26:22" Live="0"> <time> t13:20:00</time> <group id="20464">hrukisalisbury</group> <bookmaker name="bet365" Place="1/5" Rank="3"> <horse id="556524" horse="zapped"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="10" recdate=" :13:06"/> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="11" recdate=" :13:23"/> <horse id="560647" horse="taneen"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="2.87" recdate=" :13:23"/> </bookmaker> </race> <race mid="51573" tipex-matchid="55634" xsid="0" lastupdate=" :25:08" Live="0"> <time> t14:35:00</time> <group id="20452">hrukibeverley</group> <bookmaker name="bet365" Place="1/4" Rank="3"> <horse id="142230" horse="even Stevens"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="17" recdate=" :12:33"/> </bookmaker> </race> <race mid="51562" tipex-matchid="55629" xsid="0" lastupdate=" :25:08" Live="0"> <time> t15:05:00</time> <group id="20452">hrukibeverley</group> <bookmaker name="coral" Place="" Rank="0"> <horse id="135938" horse="arizona John"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="4.5" recdate=" :12:23"/> <horse id="207018" horse="old Fashion"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="9.5" recdate=" :12:24"/> Copyright TXODDS Sport Betting Limited All rights reserved.

9 XML Document structure The XML document is structurally rather simple containing 2 main elements ( match & odds) plus 2 sub-elements (status & scores) within the Odds container. All quoted odds information is held within this element. The XML document is made up of the following three elements:- XML Declaration Races Container Race Element Bookmakers Element consisting of o Horse id and name o Offer id, odds type and price & updated time These are all comprehensively described below. xml declaration Races container Race element Race element mid Tipex-matchid xsid lastupdate Live time group id mid Tipex-matchid xsid lastupdate Live time group id Bookmaker element name horse id= name= Bookmaker element name horse id= name= horse element id= name= offer element id= ot= price= recate= horse element id= name= horse element offer element id= name= id= ot= price= recdate= Copyright TXODDS Sport Betting Limited All rights reserved. Page 9 of 25

10 XML Declaration <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8 "?>?xml version= While XML documents are not required to begin with an XML declaration, it is generally good practice to do so. The declaration says "This is an XML document" and specifies the version thereof -- the current version of XML itself is 1.0. So the first line of our document looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> Races Container All requests to the TXODDS XML feed will return an XML document with the races container or root element of which there can be only one outer container. <races time=" :14:41" timestamp=" "> <race mid="51588" tipex-matchid="55647" xsid="0" lastupdate=" :26:22" Live="0"> <time> t13:20:00</time> <group id="20464">hrukisalisbury</group> <bookmaker name="bet365" Place="1/5" Rank="3"> <horse id="556524" horse="zapped"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="10" recdate=" :13:06"/> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="11" recdate=" :13:23"/> <horse id="560647" horse="taneen"> <offer id=" " ot="win" price="2.87" recdate=" :13:23"/> </bookmaker> </race> timestamp The Unix timestamp corresponding to the server time that this request was processed time The actual server time ELEMENTS race The race element describes individual races information such as the date, start time, country code/race course name Multiple sub-elements are allowed If the request returns no data (i.e. no updates have been received) or it is invalid for some reason you will still receive an XML document with valid XML Declaration and match container as above but it will of course not contain any data.
