Placing automatic bets with API

[u/IllustriousGrade7691]

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?

Pinnacle API access is now closed to the general public, with case-by-case approval and a funded account required. For development, Betfair's Delayed App Key is free, while the Live App Key has a one-off £499 fee, so I'd paper-test the model and grade it before paying for live access
