PinnFeed vs Betfair Exchange API
Answer (as of 9 November 2026): these products solve different jobs. Betfair’s Exchange API (developer.betfair.com) is for Exchange market data and placing bets (personal FREE + £499 activation; commercial on application). PinnFeed is a Pinnacle fixed-odds WebSocket/REST feed for software and research — no betting. Do not treat either as a drop-in “cheapest odds API”.
