# DashFair

DashFair is a simple interface, built using Python's [Flask](http://flask.pocoo.org/) and Javascript's [React](https://reactjs.org/), to view the market ladder of a selection in [Betfair](https://www.betfair.com/).

Note that you need to have a Betfair account and a [Betfair API key](https://developer.betfair.com/en/get-started/) with the streaming service enabled.

## Install

Clone the repository.

```shell

git clone https://github.com/FilippoBovo/dashfair.git

cd dashfair

```

Create a Python virtual environment, here using [Virtualenvwrapper](https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/), and Python 3.7, and Install the Python requirements.

```shell

mkvirtualenv --python=python3.7 dashfair

pip install -r backend/requirements.txt

```

Install the Node.js packages.

```

cd frontend

npm install

cd ..

```

##  Set up

Set the environment variables to log in to Betfair using the API key.

```shell

export BETFAIR_USERNAME=...

export BETFAIR_PASSWORD=...

export BETFAIR_APP_KEY=...

export BETFAIR_CERT_FILE=...

export BETFAIR_CERT_KEY_FILE=...

```

Fill the dots using your credentials. For the last two environmental variables, you have to give the path to the respective files stored in your local machine.
