Delayed Application Keys

The createDeveloperAppKeys service will assign two Application Keys (App Keys) to your Betfair account.

One 'live' App Key and one 'delayed' App Key. A delayed App Key is displayed as 'Version 1.0-DELAY' via createDeveloperAppKeys/getDeveloperAppKeys

  • The delayed App Key returns delayed price data and does not allow betting transactions to be performed (placeOrders,replaceOrders,updateOrders, cancelOrders)
  • The delayed App Key should be used for development and any functional testing that doesn't require the use of live data and betting functionality. 
  • The delayed App Key should also be used in simulation/practice applications where the facility to bet into live Betfair markets is not available.
