Plans are billed in Australian dollars; the pound and euro figures are approximate, at the European Central Bank's euro reference rate for 16 October 2026, and your card issuer converts at its own rate. A free key carries 3,000 credits a month with no card. What you may do with the data follows your plan: personal use on Free, Hobby and Standard; display with attribution on Plus; commercial use on Business and Scale; redistribution on Platform. The full wording is section 8.1 of the terms.
A next-to-go call costs the same whatever it returns, so one call for the whole British and Irish card is priced as one call. Pricing, allowances and the licence summary on this page are rendered from the live plan catalogue.
Saturday 26 December 2026, at Kempton Park, as The Jockey Club, Kempton Park lists it (read 13 October 2026). Start times are the course's to confirm; the API carries each race's start_time once the bookmakers price it.

Yes, for horse racing, from 6 October 2026. /v1/racing/results?country=GB,IE returns each race's finishing order with every runner's starting price (sp, with sp_fraction as the UK fraction) and the first four, with their starting prices, under placings. A result usually appears 4 to 10 minutes after the scheduled off and turns from interim to final 30 minutes after it first appears. An Irish result can arrive with the first four only; the rest of the order follows roughly 20 to 25 minutes after the off, while the result is still interim. Non-runners are listed under deductions, without a Rule 4 figure. There are no dividends, margins, race times or jockeys on these results. British greyhound results are served from 12 October 2026.
Ladbrokes / Coral, William Hill, Betway, Paddy Power and Sky Bet, each under its own bookmaker key, plus the Australian bookmakers that price British and Irish racing. Every bookmaker that quotes a race appears on it; the hub page measures who is on today's card.
