Auto-pausation

Data APIs work while the datafeed module is active. Two hours after the event's end time, RACEMAP pauses active APIs automatically to prevent unintentional usage and costs.

When do data APIs work?

The four APIs - */current, */distance, */times, and */ranks - are available for your event when the data API module is activated in the API settings for each event.

If the API add-on is not activated or the APIs are manually paused, it returns an error indicating the feed is paused, and requests are rejected.

Auto-pausing after the event has ended

Two hours after the event's end time, RACEMAP automatically pauses the API module. The auto-pausation protects from API usage and associated costs once the event has finished. The auto-pausation is triggered on the first API request two hours after the event's end time.

Live replay events are excluded from auto-pausation: If the event is configured as a live loop event, its APIs are not automatically paused.

Re-activating APIs after pausation

You can manually activate the APIs again after auto-pausation — for example, for data evaluation and analysis after the event:

  1. Open the event in RACEMAP

  2. Go to Data API settings

  3. Activate the datafeed again

After re-activating the APIs respond immediately, and the auto-pausation doesn't trigger again for the same event end time.

Auto-pausation resets with a new event's end time. That way, you can set the event's end time to the future, and two hours after the new end time, the APIs are automatically paused again.
