the TAB API vs PuntersEdge · Australia

A TAB API alternative — TAB's price, and everyone else's.

TAB publishes a developer API through TAB Studio, and if you're building on TAB specifically — placing bets, account operations, or displaying TAB's own prices — that's the correct integration. The limitation is structural rather than technical: a bookmaker's API returns that bookmaker's prices. It cannot tell you that Neds is paying $5.00 while TAB is paying $4.60 on the same runner.

Which should you choose?

Choose the TAB API if…

You're building on TAB itself — taking bets, managing accounts, or surfacing TAB's own prices in a TAB-integrated product.

Choose PuntersEdge if…

You want to know which Australian bookmaker is paying the most, which by definition needs more than one bookmaker's feed.

FAQ

Does TAB have a public API?
Yes — TAB publishes developer documentation through TAB Studio covering its wagering and racing services. It returns TAB's own prices and betting operations, which is exactly right if TAB is what you're building on.
Are TAB prices in PuntersEdge?
Yes. TAB appears as `tab` in the racing responses with win and place prices, alongside the other Australian books, so you can compare it against the market in one call.
Can I place TAB bets through PuntersEdge?
No — it's data only. For programmatic betting you need the bookmaker's own API or their commercial arrangement.
How many bookmakers are covered?
14 Australian books across racing: BetDeluxe, Betr, TAB, Neds, Ladbrokes, BetRight, PointsBet, NextBet (formerly PlayUp), TABtouch, Palmerbet, Unibet, Sportsbet, BetGold and BoostBet.
