Casinos with XML feeds

[theshortstack]

Can anyone help me out with trying to find casinos that offer affiliates XML feeds?

I know there are a few places out there that offer animated GIFs that display up to data jackpot levels, but I'm really just looking for a straight forward XML document that I can access to download values to my database and then display them in my own way.

I'm sure there must be casinos out there that do that ... I just don't seem to have found them yet!

Thanks a lot in advance

Ok, I'm kinda curious about this now.

This isn't the only forum I've asked this question on ... and I've never got a decent response. Over 100 people have viewed this thread and not replied.

Do online casinos not have XML feeds? I just kind of assumed they must do as so many other industries use them.

Is it not possible to get live dynamic data from a casino?

Hey,

There are brnads that do provide XML/API but for some reason which I dont understand why not all of them provide it and some even keep it as a secret.........
I own AVOway and we are doing our best to work only with Brands that provide API, we are soon going to take out all the brands that does not support it than you will be able to see right away a list of the brands that you can get it from, I will do the job for you ;-)

I do know that you can get it from anyone, you just need to have the right connection and basically it's "why should they give you one"

Yes this data isn't always easy to get so people who get it don't give it away easily.

My advice (and this is from someone who has recently done this) ...

- Ask your affiliate managers. Most are happy to give you the feed URL if they have one .. then its down to:
- Bust out firefox and the firebug net inspector and you'll be surprised at what you'll find at a lot of casino websites.
- A basic traffic sniffer like MS Fiddler can also help with extracting jackpot feed URLs from the actual casino software.
- As a last resort brush up on your html scraping skills.
