LIVE KEY
What u reply is largely irrelevant.. they just want the £300.
I did this maybe a yr ago .. found the whole process thoroughly
Confusing .. but am non geek.
Once u get the live key, it does open doors .. if u have someone to build a bespoke app, or can do it yourself.
If u get stuck, can prob help .. thou am not at desktop until
Much later

Write that you’ll use the API for writing trading bots for personal use, that you’re not looking to gather data to sell to other people.

Just write the truth of why you want API access and how you're going to use it.

What questions are you stuck on?
I don't remember anything that was too demanding and as others have said it's just really a statement of your intention to stay within the rules.
The idea is that you develop and test using the delayed key, and then buy a live key, simply change the key# in your code to switch over to live and everything works as it did, but better. Live & delayed keys just allow you to test your code without affecting the load on the live service.
If you're relly unsure about the questions and you're not confident with the replies on here....just give them a ring or email bdp.....they're always friendly and helpful and you'll probably learn so additional things too. You can also chat with them about raising teh default max number of market subscriptions and max #connections.

If you don't say it's for personal use then it'll cost you a hell of a lot more than £299 as that would indicate you want a commercial licence.
Like northbound says, personal use, for use in trading software you have developed yourself, for use by yourself. You're not sure what markets you'll trade and not sure about the vol of transactions. That's it isn't it?
You get people complaining about the price but 299 for LIFETIME access to mutilple gigabytes of live data per day, really is the bargain of the century imo.
Is your app fully ready and tested?

What questions are you stuck on?
Is your app written yet? Are you actually ready for the live key?

It's just a guide, it's whether you're contemplating it being 1 or 1000. It's probably just some sort of load prediction for resourse planning.
If all new applications this week say 1 then all is well, if they all say 1000, they'll fire up another server ?
