Australian horse racing odds in one feed

Our horse racing odds API covers every thoroughbred meeting in Australia and New Zealand. That means Saturday metro cards at Flemington, Randwick, Caulfield, Rosehill, Eagle Farm and Morphettville, and the midweek country meetings at places like Kilcoy and Wodonga too.

Each race turns up about a day before it jumps. From then until the start you get fixed win and place prices for every runner from every bookmaker that has the race up, all in the same race object. Tracks are spelled one way across every book and runners are keyed by their saddlecloth number, so you can line up Sportsbet against TAB against Bet365 without writing any matching code.

When a horse is scratched it stays in the field with scratched: true and no price. If a meeting is called off, the race is flagged abandoned. Once a race jumps it leaves the feed.

Live horse racing odds over WebSocket

Open one WebSocket and subscribe to the tracks you care about, or "*" for all of them. Whenever a bookmaker moves a price or scratches a horse, you get that bookmaker's current field for the race. The subscription rolls over to future meetings, so one message covers every Australian race from here on:

wss://api.rapidoddsapi.com/racing/ws?api_key=your_api_key

{ "action": "subscribe", "tracks": "*", "countries": ["AU"] }

Horse Racing Odds API FAQ

Which bookmakers does the horse racing odds API cover?

18 Australian bookmakers: Sportsbet, TAB, Ladbrokes, PointsBet, Betr, Unibet, PalmerBet, Amused, BetRight, NextBet, SwiftBet, Picklebet, ColossalBet, ChaseBet, Bet365, Dabble, 123bet, EliteBet. A race includes every one of them that has it priced.

Does it cover New Zealand racing?

Yes. New Zealand thoroughbred meetings like Ellerslie, Te Rapa, Trentham and Riccarton come through the same feed. Use countries=NZ for just New Zealand, countries=AU for just Australia, or leave it off for both.

Do you have futures or all-in markets, like Melbourne Cup odds weeks out?

No. Races show up about 24 hours before they start, so you get fixed win and place prices on the day, including big days like Melbourne Cup day at Flemington. Long-range futures markets are not part of the feed.

How are scratchings handled?

A scratched horse stays in the field with scratched set to true and win and place set to null. That happens as soon as the bookmaker marks it out, late scratchings included.

Do you also have harness and greyhound odds?

Yes. Same API, same key - add code=harness or code=greyhound to any request.

Which plans include racing?

Pro and Elite include it, or the Racing plan gives you racing on its own for $99/mo. It is the same access either way: every code, every bookmaker, 120 REST requests per minute and 3 WebSocket connections, with no credits.
