boatrace_tools = PyJPBoatrace()

# get data
dic = boatrace_tools.get_odds_trifecta(d=date(2020,12,2), stadium=1, race=4)

# dump data
with open('data.json', 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    json.dump(dic, f, ensure_ascii=False)

# close (you can use 'with' statement)
boatrace_tools.close()

You can get many kinds of data as this example.

Demo 2 : Betting

Suppose it is 2020/12/02 and you want to bet 200 yen on trifecta 1-3-4 and 100 yen on trio 1=3=4 in the 2nd race in stadium "桐生" on 2020/12/02. NOTE: you need google chrome in the following example.

from datetime import date
from pyjpboatrace import PyJPBoatrace
from pyjpboatrace.drivers import create_chrome_driver
from pyjpboatrace.const import STADIUMS_MAP
from pyjpboatrace.user_information import UserInformation

# initialize
user = UserInformation(
    userid='YOUR_USER_ID',
    pin='YOUR_PIN',
    auth_pass='YOUR_AUTHENTIFICATION_PASSWORD',
    vote_pass='YOUR_BETTING_PASSWORD',
)
boatrace_tools = PyJPBoatrace(
    driver=create_chrome_driver(),
    user_information=user
)

# deposit 1,000 yen
boatrace_tools.deposit(1)

# bet
stadium = {s:i for i,s in STADIUMS_MAP}.get("桐生")
race = 2
boatrace_tools.bet(
    stadium=stadium,
    race=race,
    trifecta_betting_dict={'1-3-4':200},
    trio_betting_dict={'1=3=4':100}
)

# waiting for the race result ...

# withdraw
boatrace_tools.withdraw()

# close (you can use 'with' statement)
boatrace_tools.close()

NOTE

The map between integers and stadiums is given by STADIUMS_MAP in pyjpboatrace.const.
