Sportsbet.com.au Scraper

An Apify actor that extracts structured betting data from Sportsbet.com.au. It handles both racing schedules and sports events, outputting the data via a REST API for integration into other applications.

Overview

This scraper collects comprehensive betting information from Australia's leading online sportsbook. It automatically classifies URLs to use the appropriate handler—racing or sports—and returns the data in a structured format ready for analysis or storage.

Key Features

• Dual Handler System: Automatically detects and processes URLs for racing schedules or sports betting pages.
• Comprehensive Data Extraction:
  • Racing: Schedules, race names, times (r1, r2, etc.), and locations.
  • Sports: Event times, competitions, participants, betting markets, and live odds.
• Flexible Output: Download datasets in JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, XML, or JSONL formats.
• REST API Access: Retrieve and manage scraped data programmatically.

Input

Configure the actor using a JSON input object. The primary parameter is:

• startUrls (array): A list of URLs to scrape.

{
  "startUrls": [
    { "url": "https://www.sportsbet.com.au/racing-schedule" },
    { "url": "https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/football" }
  ]
}

URL Classification:
* URLs containing racing-schedule are processed by the racing handler.
* All other URLs are processed by the sports betting handler.

Output

The scraped data is saved as a dataset. Each item represents either a racing or sports event.
