Beginner's guide to Betfair API development

[PaulDavid]

I have registered online but not put any money in my account. I'd like to get started with the Betfair API but the instructions don't work for me. Do I need to fund my account or verify my account first? Is there any simple explanation of the first steps? Thanks.

Have you got an API key and tried the Visualiser to check data is coming through?

I'm not sure if you need to fund your account for the delayed key or not, but even on the delayed key you are accessing the live Betfair site, so to place orders you will need to fund your account.
