The Software Vendor’s License allows you to use the Betfair API to create applications to sell to third parties – either for private or commercial use. There are two different Software Vendor’s licenses available:

Software Vendor (Personal End User) API

Personal Application Users are users who will utilise your applications for personal use only. Betfair will provide Personal Application Users API access free of charge.

Please note: you, as the Software Vendor, will be responsible for all support & communication for the users of your applications.

Software Vendor (Personal End User) subsciption fees:

Software Vendor (Commercial End User) API

Commercial Application Users are those users who wish to make use of your applications in a commercial manner that goes beyond personal use, e.g. publishing Betfair prices or any other information derived from Betfair, or companies that have customers themselves, such as bookmakers. Commercial Users will be charged a monthly subscription by Betfair, dependent on the size of their business.

Please note: you, as the Software Vendor, will be responsible for all support & communication for the users of your applications.

Historical Data License

Any distribution of Historical Betfair Data or the tools to help build a Historical Betfair Database requires a Historical Data License. ‘Historical Betfair Data’ means any Betfair trading data (such as prices and volume) that relates to a settled market. This data can be generated and distributed in a number of ways. Two examples are:

1.  Allowing users to archive data from live before a market is settled so that the data can be interrogated in a database after settlement

2.  Making data files available after a market has been settled

Providing live market information such as an advanced version of our Market Info graph (accessed by clicking on a selection name on our website) which is not available for interrogation after settlement is not regarded as Historical Betfair Data and comes under the terms of the Software Vendor license.
