Flash Betting is a mostly Front End app used to trade and interact with the BetFair API. The goal is to make a free version that can compete with the likes of GeeksToy, Bet Trader, and others. The app runs both the Front End / Back End locally and concurrently.
In order to connect to the Betfair API you will need an App Key, and a BetFair username/password.
Follow these instructions to get your app key, you can either use a delayed or live key. The Live Application Key costs a one time fee of £299 payable to BetFair.
To configure the environment variables, create a .env file in the root directory of the project. Use the provided example.env file as a template to set up your own .env file. The APP_KEY variable should be set to your purchased app key from Betfair.
Example:
APP_KEY=your_app_key_here$ npm install // Install the dependencies
$ npm run browser // Run the Front End and Local Back End concurrently$ npm install // Install the dependencies
$ npm run electron-build // Build the .dmg or .exe with Electron Builder
