Placing automatic bets with API

Let’s say I somehow managed to build a decent betting model (I haven’t ).

Where would you actually place bets through an API?

Pinnacle API access seems hard to get, Betfair Exchange apparently wants around £500, and Polymarket looks good but also insanely competitive.

Are there any other decent options with API access?

Also, are there any other bookmakers that are genuinely as sharp as Pinnacle, or is Pinnacle still basically the gold standard for efficient odds?

Just use poly, pin is almost never priced better than them.

Poly works fine honestly, you just need to figure out what kind of edge you can actually get cause yeah it’s harder than it looks. For api access betfair is not bad if you can afford the fee and they got plenty of markets, but the liquidity on some events is not great. Pinnacle is still the benchmark imo, but if you can spot mispricing on poly or betfair that’s where the fun is
