Overview
The Sport dataclass is a simple container that holds information about a specific sport on Bet365. It contains the human-readable name and the internal PD (Page Data) identifier used by Bet365’s API.
Class Definition
@dataclass
class Sport:
name: str
PD: str
Fields
The human-readable name of the sport (e.g., “Soccer”, “Basketball”, “Tennis”)
The Bet365 internal page data identifier for this sport. This is a formatted string used in API requests to specify which sport’s data to retrieve.Example format: #AS#B1#C1#D8#E12345#
Usage
Creating a Sport Object
from bet365.android import Sport
# Create a sport manually
football = Sport(
name="Soccer",
PD="#AS#B1#C1#D8#E12345#"
)
print(football.name) # Output: Soccer
print(football.PD) # Output: #AS#B1#C1#D8#E12345#
Getting Sports from Bet365
Typically, you don’t create Sport objects manually. Instead, you get them from the extract_available_sports() method:
from bet365 import Bet365AndroidSession
session = Bet365AndroidSession(
api_url="https://api.example.com/generate",
api_key="your-api-key"
)
session.go_homepage()
sports = session.extract_available_sports()
# sports is now a list of Sport objects
for sport in sports:
print(f"{sport.name}: {sport.PD}")
# Output:
# Soccer: #AS#B1#C1#D8#E12345#
# Basketball: #AS#B1#C1#D18#E67890#
# Tennis: #AS#B1#C1#D13#E54321#
Using Sport with get_sport_homepage()
The primary use of Sport objects is to pass them to get_sport_homepage() to fetch data for that specific sport:
session.go_homepage()
sports = session.extract_available_sports()
# Find a specific sport
football = next((s for s in sports if "Soccer" in s.name), None)
if football:
# Get homepage data for football
session.get_sport_homepage(football)
Filtering and Searching Sports
# Find all sports with "ball" in the name
ball_sports = [s for s in sports if "ball" in s.name.lower()]
for sport in ball_sports:
print(sport.name)
# Output:
# Football
# Basketball
# Volleyball
# Get a specific sport by exact name
tennis = next((s for s in sports if s.name == "Tennis"), None)
if tennis:
print(f"Found Tennis with PD: {tennis.PD}")
else:
print("Tennis not available")
Integration Example
from bet365 import Bet365AndroidSession
from bet365.android import Sport
# Initialize session
session = Bet365AndroidSession(
api_url="https://api.example.com/generate",
api_key="your-api-key"
)
# Setup
session.go_homepage()
# Get all available sports
available_sports = session.extract_available_sports()
print(f"Total sports available: {len(available_sports)}")
# Iterate through sports and get data
for sport in available_sports[:3]: # First 3 sports
print(f"\nFetching data for {sport.name}...")
session.get_sport_homepage(sport)
Notes
- The
PD field format is internal to Bet365 and may change over time
- Some sports may have PD identifiers that end with
K^5# - the SDK automatically strips this suffix when extracting sports
- The
name field is extracted from the NA property in Bet365’s API responses
- Sport objects are immutable dataclasses, so you cannot modify their fields after creation
