Jumps horse racing

Virtual steeplechase API

Virtual steeplechase data in JSON. The races are computer-generated, so jumps racing here runs all year rather than in one winter season. The API returns events, runners with draw numbers and form, win and place odds, and settled results.

Start free with 500 requests a day. No credit card.

How generated racing differs from a real feed

Real jumps racing is concentrated in the winter, and frost and waterlogging take meetings out of the calendar. Generated steeplechase has neither problem. A race is scheduled every few minutes, in every month.

  • Load test against live data

    The schedule never empties, so you can point a load test at real responses at any hour. You do not have to record a set of canned responses first, or wait for a race day.

  • A fixed cadence to size your cache

    Events arrive on a steady cycle rather than in bursts around real meetings. One cache window and one poll interval hold at 03:00 on a public holiday the same as on a Saturday afternoon.

  • No canceled events to handle

    You never write a branch for an abandoned meeting, a postponed start or an empty day in the calendar. An event that is scheduled runs, and it settles.

  • Settlement arrives with the result

    The finishing order and the win, place, forecast and tricast settlement come back in one response. A settled result does not change, so you can cache it and never reconcile it.

Game types

Steeple Chase

Jumps horse racing

This is one of the 8 racing game types the API serves. One integration covers all of them. The response shape does not change between game types.

Quick start

Authenticate with the X-API-Key header. List game types with /game-types, then filter events with the game_type_id and status parameters.

curl
curl -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_KEY" \
  "https://virtuals-api.sportlogic.io/api/v1/events?status=scheduled"

Sample event response

GET /api/v1/events/{id} returns the event and every runner with draw number, win and place odds, and form. Odds are decimal.

The event also carries id and game_type_id. The API assigns both, so read them from /game-types and /events rather than copying numbers off this page.

Results and settlement

When the event finishes, GET /api/v1/events/{id}/results returns the finishing order plus win, place, forecast and tricast settlement. You can grade bets straight from this response.

Cache responses while you build

The free plan includes 500 requests a day. That covers a full day of building if you cache. Store each response by event id and read from the cache instead of calling the API again for the same data. Fetch the schedule on a timer, not on every render. The cadence is the same at every hour, so one interval works all day. A settled result never changes, so you can cache results forever.

JavaScript
const cache = new Map();

async function getEvent(id) {
  if (!cache.has(id)) {
    const res = await fetch(`${BASE}/events/${id}`, { headers });
    cache.set(id, await res.json());
  }
  return cache.get(id);
}

Frequently asked questions

Can I test against it out of season?
Yes. Real jumps racing is a winter sport with quiet months. Generated steeplechase runs in every month, so a test in July and a test in January see the same schedule.
Does frost or waterlogging ever stop the racing?
No. Ground and weather do not exist in a generated race. There is no inspection and nothing is called off, so an event that shows as scheduled will run and will settle.
Is this real jumps racing data?
No. Every event, runner and result is computer-generated. The names are invented and no result comes from a real race. Use it for virtual racing products, and to build when real jumps racing is quiet.
What steeplechase data does the API return?
Scheduled and finished events, runners with draw numbers and form, win and place odds, and results with win, place, forecast and tricast settlement. Every endpoint returns JSON over REST.
Is there a free plan?
Yes. The free plan is $0 and includes 500 requests a day. You do not need a credit card. Paid plans start at $59 a month for 15,000 requests a day.
How do I authenticate?
Sign in at dashboard.sportlogic.io with Google and copy your key. Send it in the X-API-Key header on every request.
