§ Notes

Peer-to-peer exchange. Deep political + sports liquidity in GBP. Read-only access uses the 'delayed' developer app key — issued instantly, no activation fee, 1-180s data delay, explicitly permits non-trading use. Live app key (for real-time data w/o delay) costs £499 one-time and requires proportional trading. Login rate-limited to 100/min (20-min lockout on breach). Register via the UK Developer Program unless you're an AU/NZ customer. Storm uses the JSON-RPC Betting API endpoints listMarketCatalogue + listMarketBook. Default event types: Politics (2378961), Soccer (1), Tennis (2), Basketball (7522), Baseball (7511), Boxing (6).

§ Schema health

Storm runs a canary against every venue that compares live API responses against the last-known schema shape. Drift, missing fields, and unexpected null-rates raise alarms routed to the operator queue.

§ Ingest cadence and policy

Storm ingests from this venue on the standard pull cadence (default hourly for the daemon; on-demand via storm markets pull betfair). The ingester stores the raw payload alongside the normalized fields, so schema changes can be replayed without re-fetching.
