New Zealand racing odds API

Measured coverage, New Zealand

Measured 18 September 2026 on the public coverage-report.json, recomputed from the production store every half hour. Customer-served figures; the withheld reference books are excluded.

What is covered, measured

The public coverage report measures New Zealand exactly as it measures Australia: same window, same query, same excluded bookmakers, country = 'NZ'. Over the trailing 7 days to 18 September 2026 it counted 41 thoroughbred and 51 harness races served to customers.

The books quoting NZ are BetDeluxe, Betr, BetRight, Ladbrokes, Neds, Palmerbet, NextBet (formerly PlayUp), PointsBet, Sportsbet, TAB, TABtouch and Unibet. Every book quoting NZ also quotes Australia, so a product built on the AU panel gets NZ from the same keys.

NZ does not race every day. A day with no NZ row on the report is a day with no NZ meeting, not a gap in capture.

No NZ greyhounds

The racing codes on the report are measured rather than asserted, and no New Zealand greyhound race has appeared in the store. If your product needs NZ greyhounds, this API does not serve them. Australian greyhounds are covered on the greyhound racing API.

Using the endpoints for NZ

Add country=NZ to /v1/racing/next-to-go, /v1/racing/events, /v1/racing/best-odds, /v1/racing/changes, /v1/racing/movers and /v1/racing/results. Pass AU,NZ for both. Most of a card is unresolved to a country until the meeting is confirmed, so pair the filter with include_unresolved=true on the schedule endpoints if you must see a race before its country is stamped.

Results carry the source bookmaker's own settled fixed price per placegetter and the dividends. There is no official starting price in the response for NZ or harness racing, and the API does not synthesise one.

The archive endpoints take the same filter: /v1/racing/closing-lines?country=NZ and /v1/racing/price-paths?country=NZ return the permanent closing-line and price-path archive from 4 August 2026, on the Standard plan and above.

Every start_time is UTC, on NZ and AU races alike; the API never localises, so convert to Pacific/Auckland for display. On a thinner NZ board set min_books on /v1/racing/movers to what the measured NZ panel supports, and read books_quoting_win per runner on /v1/racing/best-odds before sizing off a best price.

Example request — 2 credits

curl

curl 'https://api.puntersedge.online/v1/racing/next-to-go?country=NZ&num_races=5' \
  -H 'X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY'

Python

import requests

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.puntersedge.online/v1/racing/next-to-go",
    params={"country": "NZ", "num_races": 5},
    headers={"X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"}, timeout=15)
r.raise_for_status()
for race in r.json():
    print(race["venue"], "R%s" % race["race_number"], race["start_time"])
    for runner in race["runners"]:
        priced = [b for b in runner["bookmakers"] if b.get("win_price")]
        if priced:
            best = max(priced, key=lambda b: b["win_price"])
            print("  ", runner["number"], runner["name"], best["key"], best["win_price"])

2 credits per call, the same as an Australian request. An empty list outside NZ racing hours is the correct answer, and it is still billed.
