Frequently asked questions

Greyhound racing data for Great Britain and Australia: racecards and runners, results with finishing positions, sectional and run times, starting prices, Betfair market summaries, and reference data on dogs, trainers, owners, tracks and breeding. It is factual race data only — no predictions, no ratings, no tips. See the documentation for the full list of 38 endpoints.

Great Britain (GB) and Australia (AU). The full tracks endpoint lists every track with its timezone, distances raced and records. Times are handled in each track's local timezone and returned in UTC — see Timezones & dates.

Results reach the pipeline minutes to a few hours after the off. Rather than pretend it is instant, every response carries data_as_of and each race carries freshness stamps (results_received_utc, results_delay_s) so you always know exactly how current a given result is. That honest-freshness contract is documented in Data freshness, and the live picture is on the status page.

No. GreyhoundAPI publishes factual race data and nothing else — no predictions, ratings, selections or betting advice on any endpoint. What you do with the data is your responsibility; see the terms.
