The Veredus Analytics API

Point-in-time racing analytics as data: 180 computed features for every runner in every race — over 530,000 UK, Irish and international races back to 1988, and refreshed daily ahead of upcoming racing. Every value is computed strictly from information available before the race's off-time, so the dataset is safe to train on: no leakage, deterministic recomputation, one flat row per runner-race.

Veredus does not predict races. We produce the inputs — you bring the models, research questions and strategies.

Authentication

Requests are authenticated with an API key sent in the X-Api-Key header. Create and manage keys from your account — each key is shown once at creation and can be revoked at any time. Data endpoints require a key (or a signed-in session); the /api/v1/demo sample day is open for evaluation without one.

Endpoints

A small, predictable REST surface served from api.veredusanalytics.com; access is issued with your subscription.

GET/api/v1/race-days?from=&to=Days that have racing, with race counts — navigate the calendar.

GET/api/v1/races?date=YYYY-MM-DDEvery race on a day (or the recent feed when no date is given).

GET/api/v1/races/{raceId}A single race with its runners.

GET/api/v1/races/{raceId}/analyticsThe analytics payload: one object per runner with all 180 fields below.

GET/api/v1/courses/{courseId}/analytics?from=&to=&discipline=&distanceBucket=&surface=Point-in-time course snapshots (draw bias, favourite rates, draw-third win rates) per discipline / distance bucket / surface — monthly historically, daily once live. The same rows the runner analytics join against.

GET/api/v1/coursesThe browsable course collection: name, region, track variant, surface kind and direction.

GET/api/v1/courses/{courseId}?asOf=YYYY-MM-DDThe full course profile: identity (variant, sibling course, operator), layout, measured topology (circuit, turns with severities, climb, elevation profile) and the dated surface history — asOf returns the surface in force on any date.

GET/api/v1/open-data/course-topologyThe measured course-topology dataset in full — open data under ODbL, no key required. See Data licences for the attribution and licence split.

Measured course topology (the courseTotalClimbM, courseUndulationIndex and courseElevationRangeM fields and the course-profile topology block) derives from OpenStreetMap and is open data under ODbL — © OpenStreetMap contributors; elevation produced using Copernicus data and information funded by the European Union (EU-DEM). Everything else is licensed under your subscription. Full details: Data licences.

The data dictionary — all 180 fields

Conventions: rates are fractions in [0, 1]; form scores average 3 points for a win, 2 for 2nd, 1 for 3rd and 0 otherwise (position 0 — outside the top 9 or a non-finisher — always scores 0), normalised to [0, 1]; enum-coded fields are integers where 0 means unknown; the four delta fields use −999 when no previous run exists; 730 in lastRunDays means no previous run.

Keys identifying the runner-race pair and when the row was computed.

Field	Type	Description
`raceId`	string	Veredus race identifier (e.g. var_4f2a6dses2npqomq).
`horseId`	string	Veredus horse identifier (e.g. vah_9k3m2npq7x8w4t6r).
`computedAtUtc`	string (ISO date-time)	When this row was last (re)computed. Provisional pre-race recomputes and the final post-race compute overwrite the same row.
`position`	number	Finishing position once the race has run; 0 for pre-race (provisional) rows and for finishes outside the top 9 or non-finishers.
