Race Day plan overview

Today and yesterday, with the prices on: what the Race Day plan covers, every endpoint it reaches, and what still needs Live.

Race Day · $49/month

Today and yesterday, with the money on.

Every card, every result and every price for the two days still trading. It is the plan for screens, bots and bet-placement tools that only ever ask about racing happening now. It is not an archive plan: anything older than yesterday is refused, with the window named, rather than quietly returning less.

The window

Counted at each track in its own timezone, so an Australian card comes back whole. The floor moves at local midnight: a race you read at 23:55 can be outside the window five minutes later.

Before yesterdayRefused, with the date asked for and the plan that carries it

YesterdayCards, results, prices, weights, weather, dividends

TodayCards from publication, results as they land, live prices

Scheduled aheadCards only, since the racing has not happened

What it adds to a free key

This is the whole argument for the plan. A free key already reads these two days. What it cannot read is the money.

Every endpoint on the plan

What a refusal looks like

Asking for older racing is answered rather than ignored: the date asked for, the window that applies, and the plan that carries it.

If you were planning to download the archive, this is the wrong plan. Race Day holds two days at a time and nothing behind them, so a backfill, a model trained on past form, or a study of one track across a season all need Live. Moving up keeps the same key: the history and the extra endpoints start answering on the next request, with nothing to re-integrate.
