Do I need a Pinnacle account for the API?
Answer: For the official Pinnacle API, yes — the README (opened 10 November 2026) says you must have a funded Pinnacle account, and public access has been closed since 23 July 2025. You apply to api@pinnacle.com. For PinnFeed, no. PinnFeed is an independent self-serve odds feed: create a ps_live_ key in the dashboard, call /v1/*, and on Builder open the WebSocket. No Pinnacle account and no sales call for Free, Hobby, Builder or Pro.
