What our partners think

" In ITV7 we want to make Racing accessible to all, educate our audience and increase the enjoyment for new and existing Racing fans. When looking at the options available to us within the market Timeform stood out above the rest as meeting those goals.

Additionally through all of our experiences dealing with Timeform we know the quality service we will receive in order to ensure frictionless, swift implementations for our development teams

The Timeform Star Rating and Verdict in particular cut through a sport filled with jargon and offer really useful information to the user while still offering the detail required for our racing experts. We look forward to working with Timeform on further integrations to enrich that user experience further. "

I have a great business idea and the API would be perfect. Can you help?

Can I access Betfair/Paddy Power/Sky Bet odds through the Timeform API?

There are no bookmakers prices included in the API. Please see the Betfair Developers website for details of Exchange API access.

Does the API include sectionals data?

Currently sectionals data is available only in spreadsheet format from our online shop.

I need access to the API for my dissertation. As a student can I get free access?

Sorry, but the API is only available on commercial terms.

I have a system I'd like to test before subscribing, can I just obtain historical data?

The API is intended to deliver pre-race data to commercial customers. You can access historical data as a subscriber but it is not available to purchase separately.

I only need results/pedigrees/ratings. Can I just buy those?

We are not currently offering tailored API access, only the packages described above.

Does the data go back to when Timeform started in 1948?

The API is a production service and offers the same coverage, from the early 1990s, as our horse racing website. (Please see the terms and conditions for full details.) Timeform's annual ratings are not available through the API
