Status: This guide describes the verified current public experience. It will be revised as the replacement website is implemented.
Homepage
The homepage introduces Troyen Data and explains how its structured racing data can support applications, analytics pipelines, and operational systems.
Visitors can review:
- International coverage.
- RESTful API architecture.
- JSON delivery format.
- Developer documentation approach.
- Scalable infrastructure and access controls.
- Subscription and pricing principles.
Requesting API Access
Use a Get API Keys button to open the enquiry form. The current form requests:
- Email address.
- Company name.
- Company URL.
- A comment describing the intended use.
After a successful request, the site displays a confirmation that the Troyen Data team will follow up.
API credentials are issued after a subscription is confirmed. Credentials are client-specific and must be kept confidential.
FAQ and Support
The FAQ provides guidance on:
- API credentials and access enquiries.
- Request limits.
- Regional and discipline coverage.
- Data refresh timing.
- Subscription changes and cancellations.
- Monthly billing.
The current basic API limit is stated as 2 calls per second. Higher-throughput integrations may require a different access arrangement or ingestion into the customer's own database.
Data Timing
The current FAQ describes several update patterns:
- Core datasets such as racecards follow confirmed final acceptances.
- Comments and derived content are produced before the event.
- Scratchings are updated as received.
- Forward datasets refresh on a schedule that increases closer to the event.
Odds, where supplied, are indicative morning or pre-post values and are not real-time prices.
Pricing and Subscriptions
Pricing is handled by enquiry and depends on coverage, data scope, delivery pattern, access volume, and bespoke requirements.
Subscription changes are handled through Troyen Data support. The current FAQ states that processing may take 24–48 hours, downgrades apply from the next billing period, and cancellations remain active until the current billing period ends.
Current Limitation
The replacement website currently has only a framework-neutral Python foundation. No public replacement site is available yet, so continue using the current website until a new release is implemented, verified, and formally deployed.
