Is there any way to get this data?

GetMarketTradedVolume gives the odds/amounts matched on each runner, but I want to be able to get information about when each price was taken (ie reconstruct the time/volume graph that appears when you click on the graph icon to the left of the runner name.

Cheers.

I'm sure you have your reasns Contrarian, but it sure sounds like theoretical overkill to me.
Remember this is just sports betting, with all its vagaries concerning weather, injuries, form etc or are you in the camp of opinion that it is no different from trading on any other financially sophisticated markets ?
Btw can't help you as I'm no computer programmer.

Brendan,

But the GetMarketTradedVolume just tells you how much traded at what price, not when it traded. Obviously I can collect this data as my bot is running, but I want to get the total previous traded history for a market.

YLB,

I do think that price history has some significance, even in sports markets.

If you record the data in real time then you can easily construct the information you need in real time. It's just that the calculations will be done on your machine instead of Betfair's so there's no loss of speed.
