Project description:
"I have a Python Bet365 pre-game odds scraper (using curl_cffi/requests). Pre-match BetBuilder odds work, but protected endpoints (e.g. Player / Goals tabs under /matchbettingcontentapi) require a dynamic header x-net-sync-term. I need a developer to reproduce or bypass that requirement and deliver a reliable proof-of-concept that returns data from those endpoints.

Scope / responsibilities:
• Reverse-engineer how x-net-sync-term is generated (or find a header combination/workaround to avoid it).
• Produce a reproducible, programmatic method to request /matchbettingcontentapi endpoints from Python (works with curl_cffi or requests).
• Deliver a compact POC script + short integration notes so I can plug it into my existing scraper.

Required skills
• Strong Python (requests / curl_cffi) experience
• Web scraping and reverse engineering of protected APIs
• Experience with token/header-based protections, dynamic headers or anti-bot techniques
• Knowledge of Bet365 endpoints or sports-betting APIs is a plus

Deliverables
1. A Python proof-of-concept script that, when executed, returns the data from endpoint below. The script should either:
• reproduce the x-net-sync-term generation, or
• show a stable set of headers/requests that bypass the need for repeated dynamic header
generation.
• Alternatively, if an automated browser (Selenium) is required in the setup it could be a viable solution. But preferbaly everything is requests based.


Acceptance criteria
• The POC script returns data for the example endpoint (player odds) consistently (not a one-off).
• Clear method documented so I can integrate it into my existing scraper.

Example endpoint (test)
Should return player odds for Aston Villa vs Burnley (until October 5th):

lid=1&zid=9&pd=%23AC%23B1%23C1%23D8%23E181007976%23F3%23I8%23&
cid=135&cgid=4&ctid=135`

It should work for any soccer match on Bet365 getting player odds tab." (client-provided description)
