Overview
This node integrates with the Betfair Australia API to retrieve various types of betting-related data. Specifically, the "List Market Types" operation fetches market types available for a given sport or event type. This is useful for users who want to explore or filter betting markets by their types before placing bets or analyzing market data.
Common scenarios include:
- Fetching all market types related to horse racing or other sports.
- Filtering market types based on event types, competitions, venues, or other criteria.
- Using the retrieved market types to build dynamic betting strategies or dashboards.
For example, a user interested in Australian horse racing can list market types filtered by event type ID "7" (Horse Racing) and country code "AU" to get relevant market types for upcoming races.
