Scrape US Thoroughbred horse racing data from Equibase.com — the official source for North American racing information. Extract race entries (horses, jockeys, trainers, morning line odds) and results (finish order, payouts, winning times) for any date and track.
How it works
Equibase serves all race data as pre-rendered static HTML files. The site is protected by Imperva/Incapsula bot detection, which blocks plain HTTP requests. This actor uses a two-step approach:
- Cookie extraction: A headless Chromium browser visits the site, solves the Imperva JS challenge, and extracts the session cookies.
- Static HTML scraping: The cookies are reused to fetch the race pages via plain HTTP. The HTML is parsed with Cheerio to extract structured data.
No API calls, no JavaScript rendering needed for the data itself — just static HTML files with clean, parseable content.
Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
raceDate | string | Date to scrape in MM/DD/YYYY format. Use today/future for entries, past for results. |
trackCodes | array | Optional track codes to filter (e.g. BEL, CD, SA, GP). Empty = all tracks. |
dataMode | select | entries, results, or both (default: both) |
maxItems | integer | Max records to push (default: 100) |
maxRaces | integer | Max races per track. 0 = all (default: 0) |
