API Pricing

One credit = one unit of API consumption. Endpoints cost 0–100 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. On Business and Platform with overage switched on, calls keep working past the allowance and the 402 comes at the overage ceiling instead. On every other plan, and whenever overage is off, you are refused and 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.

Overage, on Business and Platform only. Those two plans keep serving past the monthly allowance at A$0.60 per 1,000 credits (Business) and A$0.30 (Platform), capped at 50% over — at most A$90 and A$225 on top of the plan, invoiced with your next payment. It is on by default for keys created from 22 September 2026 and off for every key issued before then. There is no top-up product, and on every other plan the cap is a hard stop, not a surcharge — moving up a tier is cheaper per credit than overage.

Your calls keep working, up to a ceiling you know in advance. Business runs 150,000 credits past its 300,000 allowance and Platform 750,000 past its 1,500,000 — half the plan either way — billed at A$0.60 and A$0.30 per 1,000 credits, rounded up to whole thousands, on your next invoice. That is A$90 and A$225 at the very most: the ceiling is the promise, so there is no bill you did not see coming. Every response past the allowance carries X-Credits-Overage and X-Credits-Overage-Ceiling, and at the ceiling the 402 names it. GET /v1/billing/overage shows the state, the rate, the ceiling and what this period has run over; POST the same path switches it off and the hard stop comes back immediately.

Yes, on every paid plan. An annual plan costs ten months’ money for twelve months of service, so Standard is $290 a year instead of $348. Credits reset every month exactly as they do on a monthly plan — paying yearly buys twelve of those months for the price of ten, it does not pool a year of credits into one bucket. Pick a plan from the annual row above. If you already subscribe monthly, do not buy an annual plan here: reply to any email from us and we will move you across by hand and credit what you have already paid for the current period.

Yes, on Platform. The free widget at /widgets is available to everyone and carries a small “Powered by PuntersEdge” credit. The white-label widget on Platform does not: it renders in your colours, with your own bookmaker or affiliate links, and nothing on the frame names us. Create one with POST /v1/widgets and embed the iframe it hands back. Managing widgets is free; each metered fill costs 2 credits for racing or 1 for a sports market, and there is at most one fill a minute per parameter set however many people are viewing the page. It is the redistribution licence in practice, which is why it is Platform rather than simply the dearest plan — Scale sells volume for use inside your own systems. How it works →

The model-builder set: the permanent closing-line archive (Standard reads a rolling 90-day window), the bulk price-path export in CSV and Parquet, POST /v1/racing/clv closing-line value scoring, the race markets view at GET /v1/racing/markets — win, place and Same Race Multi Top 2/3/4 per bookmaker with each book’s market percentage, and the settled exotic dividends once a race has been run — paced form backfill, webhooks and runner-level betslip deep links (Unibet, TAB, Ladbrokes and Neds) — plus the licence to show our odds to your own users with a credit. Business adds the commercial licence, IP whitelisting, priority support and daily bulk dataset files: one pre-built Parquet or CSV file per dataset per day (closing lines, price paths, results, acceptances, track conditions, race markets, exotic dividends) from /v1/bulk. Platform adds the redistribution licence and monthly dataset bundles. Business and above also hold several API keys on one credit pool — 3 on Business, 5 on Platform, 10 on Scale — minted and revoked from /v1/keys/team, each with its own rate limit, IP whitelist and usage line. Each of those keys can also carry its own monthly credit cap inside the pool — set it when you mint the key, or later with PATCH /v1/keys/team/{key_id} — so one client, worker or trial refuses at its own limit instead of spending the account's month. Standard keys issued before 20 September 2026 keep the archive, the export and webhooks they were sold and also have the race markets view, and Standard and Hobby keys issued before 21 September 2026 keep the betslip links.

Add up every endpoint you will call. One /v1/racing/next-to-go call a minute for the default 10 races costs 2 credits; across the whole Australian card — about 11 hours a day for 30 days — that loop is 39,600 credits a month, against the 75,000 in Standard. Polling it every 30 seconds doubles that to 79,200, more than Standard holds. Results, changes, markets and price history are billed per call on top, and a next-to-go call for more than 20 races costs more; the calculator adds the loops up. 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 3,000 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 500/min, Business 750/min, Platform 1,000/min, Scale 2,000/min.

Every racing quote carries age_seconds, the time since that price was last read from the bookmaker, on every plan. What differs is how old the stored /v1/racing/next-to-go board can be: at most 20 seconds on a paid plan and 65 seconds on Free. An older board is rebuilt for a paid key, and every age is recomputed when the response is sent. How fresh is this price? has the full rules.

Yes. For custom credit limits, a contract or SLA, or dedicated infrastructure, tell us what you are building and a human replies. Platform and Scale are arranged with us at the prices on this page rather than bought with a card, and Platform can start as a 30-day pilot; enterprise terms are agreed in writing.

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 Scale. 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 applies to those surfaces on Business. Scale does not require it. 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.
