API Pricing

One credit = one unit of API consumption. Endpoints cost 0–20 credits per call — see the table above, and note the ceiling is a bulk CSV export of the closing-line archive, not a routine read. Your monthly allocation resets on the 1st of each calendar month at 00:00 UTC, not on your subscription anniversary.

No. Credits reset on the 1st of each calendar month at 00:00 UTC. Unused credits are not carried forward.

Upgrades are immediate. Pay and your existing key is upgraded in place — same key string, new plan, new allowance, nothing to redeploy. To change or cancel a subscription, use the Stripe billing portal linked from your account page.

You pay only the difference. Upgrading part-way through a billing period charges the new plan for the days left in it, minus a credit for the unused days you had already paid for on the old one — that is the whole charge today. Your billing date does not move; the full new price starts on your normal renewal date. The bigger allowance applies immediately, and your API key does not change.

Calls return 402 Payment Required until the 1st of the next month. You are refused, never billed for the overflow. The 402 body and its X-Upgrade-* headers name the tier that would have covered you, sized against your measured burn rate, and link straight to it. Every billed response also carries X-Credits-Remaining so you can back off before you get there.

No. There is no metered price and no top-up product — the cap is a hard stop, not a surcharge. If you need more headroom, move up a tier; the upgrade applies instantly and keeps your key.

Not yet. Every plan above is monthly AUD billing. If annual billing would make the difference for you, email us — we will arrange it manually and it moves up the queue.

Work it out from one number. /v1/racing/next-to-go costs 2 credits. Polling it once a minute across the whole Australian card — about 11 hours a day — is 39,600 credits a month, which is what the Standard plan is sized for. Poll every 30 seconds instead and you need twice that. If you only poll during one meeting, or only when a race is close to jumping, the free tier or Hobby will hold you for a long time.

Yes, on two axes. The free tier has 1,500 credits per month and a hard limit of 30 requests per minute. Go over it and you get a 429 with Retry-After: 60; the window is a rolling 60 seconds per API key, not a clock minute. Paid tiers raise it — Hobby 60/min, Standard 200/min, Plus 250/min, Business 300/min, Platform 1,000/min, Unlimited 2,000/min.

Yes. For custom credit limits, SLAs, or dedicated infrastructure contact support via the API platform page.

Four licences, and each adds to the ones above it. Your plan decides which one you hold.

• Personal use — Free, Hobby and Standard. You may use the data for yourself: your own betting decisions, your own models, research, backtesting and dashboards you look at. This licence does not cover using the data in a business, doing client work with it, building it into a product you sell, or putting our prices in front of other people.
• Display with attribution — Plus. You may show our odds to your own users, including your own paying subscribers, provided every surface that displays them carries a visible Prices by PuntersEdge credit linking to puntersedge.online. The commercial permission this carries is scoped to the product doing the displaying. It does not permit passing the data to a third party, or offering it as a feed, an export or an API of your own.
• Commercial use — Business and Unlimited. You may use the data commercially across your business: internal systems, trading and pricing decisions, client work, analysis you charge for, and products you sell. Where a product shows our prices to end users, the attribution requirement above still applies to those surfaces. This licence does not permit handing the data on as a feed, an export or an API of your own.
• Redistribution — Platform. Platform adds the right to redistribute PuntersEdge data inside your own product, including to your own paying users, and without the attribution requirement. It remains a licence to use the data in your product, not a right to resell the feed itself as a competing data service.

Plus and Business are different permissions, not different sizes of the same one. Plus lets you SHOW our prices in one product, and carries the commercial permission that product needs. Business lets you USE the data anywhere in your business, whether or not a price is ever displayed.

Already a customer? If your key existed on 15 September 2026 you keep the licence published on 8 September 2026 — commercial use inside your own systems, on whatever plan you hold. It is attached to the key and survives a plan change. Nothing you are already doing needs an upgrade.

All four are set out in section 8 of the Terms. If your case does not fit them, email us and we will put it in writing.

The API is for informational and data use only. It may not be used to facilitate illegal gambling, unlicensed operators, or services prohibited under Australian law. See the API platform page for full terms.

Tell me. Plans are shaped by what people actually ask for, and a use case that doesn't fit an existing tier is the most useful thing you can send. Describe it on the requests page and it goes straight to the person who sets the pricing.
