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

Run it live

A real request from your browser straight to api.greyhoundapi.com with your own key — nothing is proxied or logged by this page.

GET/v1/races/{race_id}/result

Held in this tab only, sent only to the API host. No key yet? Create a free sandbox key — it runs every endpoint against the sandbox data window.

Notes

If the race has not completed, the endpoint returns 404 with error code result_not_available and the race's current status, so pollers can tell "too early" from "wrong ID".
