Hi Gavin
A while back there was a discussion about a Cymatic API, and this post caught my attention: http://www.cymatic.co.uk/forum/topic375.html?hilit=com%20interface#p1627
I realise this feature may have limited appeal and is unlikely to be a priority feature, but I'd like to initiate a discussion about this with you and the Cymatic community anyway. My reasons are not entirely selfish (although I seem to have broken Excel again!). As many will be aware, Betfair charge a one-off application fee for non-commercial users of their API. I suspect I'm not the only person who would like to write my own bots/utilities, but have been put off by the £299 application fee. Writing software that works with a Cymatic API, and adds extra features/information rather than duplicating what Cy already does very well, makes a lot more economic sense to me. So, my general questions for Gavin and the community are:
Would it be possible to add an API to Cymatic that could accept input from commonly used languages (I'm thinking Python, Java, not just VB)?
Is there interest in this feature from current Cymatic users?
Would any non-users consider using this, rather than writing your own application from scratch?
Any other thoughts, pros, cons?
Cheers
