Frequently Asked Questions

API Access & Data

Once subscribed, you will be able to login to your dashboard with your registed email address and view your API Keys in the 'My Account' tab.

Yes, requests are rate limited to 2 per second by default.

Some endpoints may have higher or lower rate limits - the exact limits for each endpoint are documented in the API documentation.

For high throughput integrations, we recommend that you import the required data to serve from your own database.

Our core API service provides complete coverage of UK, Irish and Hong Kong horse racing, as well as global coverage of group level races and selected handicaps.

You can view a breakdown of data coverage in the core API by year and region here.

Additional regional data coverage (such as for Australia and North America) is available via our regional racing data API add-on services - users can subscribe to these add-ons in the Plans & Add-ons tab of the dashboard.

Subscriptions

You can upgrade or downgrade your subscription in the dashboard or by emailing your request to [email protected].

Partial refunds are unavailable for plan downgrades. Your current plan subscription will remain active until your next billing date at which point you will be moved to the lower tier plan.

Plan upgrades are processed immediately, with your monthly billing date being changed to the date of upgrade and a prorated charge.

You may cancel your subscriptions at any time in the dashboard or by emailing your request to [email protected].

Partial refunds are unavailable, so your plan will remain active until your next billing date at which point your plan will be cancelled and API access revoked.

Billing

When you subscribe, your first payment will be taken straight away or once any specified free trial period ends. From then on, billing will take place monthly on the same day as your first payment.

For example, if your first payment was on the 8th of the month, all subsequent payments will also be taken on the 8th.

When you upgrade, your billing date will be updated to the same day as your new plan starts.

You can update your payment method and billing details in the My Account section of your dashboard, by clicking the 'Manage Billing & Invoices' button.
