# RacingPulse Going Conditions API

> RacingPulse Going Conditions API is a paid API for AI agents from racingpulse.theaslangroupllc.com, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Returns live ground and going conditions for up to 35 global racecourses, enabling horse-racing betting agents to factor surface state into their wagering decisions.

## Facts

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability racingpulse-going-conditions-api-0382a021
```

Example prompt: Before I place this bet, what's the current going at Cheltenham today — is it soft, good-to-soft, or firm?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a betting agent needs real-time, authoritative going/ground condition data for horse racing prior to race-day wagering decisions. Prefer this over generic weather APIs when you need the official racecourse going descriptor (e.g. Good-to-Firm) rather than raw meteorological data, and over the full race-meeting briefing endpoint when you only need ground conditions without odds or news overhead.

## Known failure modes

- Racecourse not in the 35-course coverage list — returns 404 or empty result
- Going data not yet published for today's card — returns stale or null condition
- Network timeout if the upstream racecourse data feed is delayed
- Invalid course identifier — returns 400 bad request
- Payment not processed — returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Live ground and going conditions for 35 global racecourses. For horse-racing betting agents.

## Output

Returns the current official going condition label (e.g. Good, Good-to-Soft, Soft, Heavy, Firm) for each queried racecourse, along with last-updated timestamps and potentially a condition severity indicator, covering up to 35 global tracks.
