Race conditions

GET/v1/races/{race_id}/conditions

Available on Live Plus only

A Live key reaches the other 42 endpoints and receives 403 upgrade_required here. Compare plans

The context one race runs in: how each trap has performed at this track over this exact distance, what a winning time looks like here, and how experienced the field is — every figure with the sample it is drawn from.

Authenticate with your key in the X-API-Key header, or ?key= if your tool cannot set one — see Authentication. Works with sandbox keys inside the sandbox data window.

Parameters

race_id path integer yes The race identifier.

Browser code exposes whatever key it ships with — use a sandbox key for prototypes and proxy live keys through your own server in production.
