How do I create an Application Key?

You can create an Application Key by using the createDeveloperAppKeys service via the Accounts API Demo Tool. 

Please follow the instructions below:

1. Click on the Accounts API Demo Tool link.
2. Select the createDeveloperAppKeys operation from the list of Operations on the top left hand side of the visualiser.
3. Login to www.betfair.com via a separate browser tab and refresh the page to automatically input the Session Token field into the Session Token(ssoid) field.
4. Enter your Application Name (this must be unique) in the 'Request' column.  The Application Name can be any name of your choice, but like your Betfair username, must be unique.
5. Press Execute at the bottom of the 'Request' column.

Two Application Keys will then be created and displayed in the Developer Apps column of the demo tool, a Delayed App Key (Active) and a Live App Key (Inactive)

Please note:

• The X-Application header is not required when using the createDeveloperAppKeys or the getDeveloperAppKeys service.
• The Application Name must be unique.
