French Horse Racing Results · LeTrot & ZEturf

Export French race cards, starters and official arrivées — the same public meetings listed on LeTrot (trot) and ZEturf (FR). One row per horse-in-race. Finish, times, trainer, jockey or driver.

No login. No API key. Not live betting odds.

Who is this for?

You are…	Typical goal	Suggested setup
Form / ratings analyst	Rebuild a day of arrivées with reduced-km times	Yesterday · Trot · max 200
Turf media / data desk	Fill a CMS table after Vincennes or Cabourg	Hippodrome filter · Trot
Database vendor	Nightly FR cards + results	Date range · All meetings · maxItems 0
Agency building a turf widget	Small, cheap sample for a client demo	Prefill dates · 20 rows
Owner / trainer office	One meeting, one spreadsheet	Hippodrome name · Racecard view

What you get by default: race date and off-time (Paris), hippodrome, cloth, horse, rider, trainer, finish when the race is official, finish time and reduced km, career form figures, links to the LeTrot day page (trot) and ZEturf results.

What this Actor does not do: live in-play odds, steamers, or tote markets. For live PMU odds see other Store Actors — this one is cards and arrivées only.

Quick start

1. Open the Actor on Apify and keep From date / To date on a recent race day (prefill is a full French trotting day).
2. Leave Discipline on Trot (LeTrot) or switch to All French meetings.
3. Click Start. Download CSV / Excel from the Dataset tab.

Free plan: 20 rows per run. Paid plans follow pay-per-event.

How much does it cost to scrape LeTrot or ZEturf results?

HTTP-only (no browser). You pay pay-per-event: a tiny start fee plus one event per horse-in-race row.

Scenario	Approx. cost (Free tier list)
20 rows (Try / Free plan cap)	~$0.02
1,000 rows	~$1.00 + start
50,000 rows	~$50 + start

Tier	Per horse-in-race
Free	$0.001
Bronze	$0.0009
Silver	$0.0008
Gold	$0.0007
Platinum	$0.0006
Diamond	$0.0005

Actor start is $0.00005 per GB of memory (this Actor defaults to 512 MB). Compute is small because there is no headless Chrome.

Is it legal to scrape LeTrot / ZEturf race results?

This Actor only reads public race cards and official arrivées (meetings already published for the racing public). It does not log into a betting account or collect private customer data. Horse racing results can include names of licence-holders (trainers, drivers). Your use must comply with GDPR and with the terms of any site you reuse the data on. This is not betting advice.

How it works

1. Resolve the date range (or a pasted LeTrot / ZEturf URL).
2. Load the public French programme for each day.
3. Keep meetings that match discipline and hippodrome.
4. Load starters / arrivées for each race.
5. Push one dataset row per horse, progressively.

Local development

cd french-horse-racing-results
npm install
npm test
apify run

apify run validates .actor/INPUT.json (or storage/key_value_stores/default/INPUT.json). Repo input.json is merged when you are not on the Apify platform (KV / CLI input wins on conflict). Local storage/ is not uploaded to Console.
