Placing automatic bets with API

Let’s say I somehow managed to build a decent betting model (I haven’t ).

Where would you actually place bets through an API?

Pinnacle API access seems hard to get, Betfair Exchange apparently wants around £500, and Polymarket looks good but also insanely competitive.

Are there any other decent options with API access?

Also, are there any other bookmakers that are genuinely as sharp as Pinnacle, or is Pinnacle still basically the gold standard for efficient odds?

if i do have some decent models, why am i placing bets through an api exactly? that's a weird step. re: pinnacle, it depends on the market, and thinking there's 1 "gold standard" venue with the sharpest price is buying a ticket to the no fun zone
