How to update the daily_betfair_mapping?

0 votes
By using the script daily_races and daily_runners are up to date one day before, however, this is not the case for the daily_betfair_mappings!

On what time is it possible to get the mappings for the whole races on that day?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

To get the daily_betfair_mappings, you need to use a different script to the daily updates for the database.

This is:

/fetch_additional_data.sh 

The script and the manual for this data are available in your member access pages once you have subscribed to the database.

You can call it as follows:

/fetch_additional_data.sh  daily_betfair_mappings

All the data is made available on the morning of racing by 7 am (before the markets get any real liquidity and after the final declarations and most non-runners have been declared).
 
You can see exactly when all data in Smartform was loaded (including betfair_daily_mappings) using the loaded_at field.
