Data and API
The public Forecast Record API returns the numbers on these pages, built from the same snapshot, with 1,000 requests a month on the free plan (as of , source: the plans table on this page).
How to read the data
Every page has an index.json next to it at the same address, and pages with tables of records also have a .csv. Both files are built from the same snapshot as the page, so a number in a file and the same number on the page come from one calculation; a file can list more records than the page shows, and each file states its own counts. They are for machines to read, not for search engines to index instead of the page.
Rules of use
Attribution to the source page is required. Quotes from third-party sources stay under their own rights: what we license is the measurement, not the material we measured. A name removed at its owner's request disappears from the exports too, on the same deadline as from the pages.
JSON field glossary
Since contract version 2.0 (12 October 2026), every field name and code in the JSON next to each page is in English; schema_version in each file names the version. What each part means:
record_summary— profile summary: the headline sentence, 2–4 numbers, the series behind them, limitations, the citationrecorded_picks— one row per prediction: match, what the author said, outcome in words, group (settled, pending, excluded), points in a named series, originpagination— how many predictions there are and the addresses of the pages that list themmatch_summary— match page: final score, distinct predictions, sources, who predicted what, predictions by marketpick_summary— pick page: author, selection, match, final score, outcome of the pickevidence_items— statements with their evidence: quotation (quote_text), source (source_info), dates, provenance, statement class and stateevidence_items[].link,who_predicted_what[].also— match page: the same pick recorded again, or the same material in another edition of the source, stays as evidence and is linked to the main row:linknames the main record (main_record_id,kindissame_pickfor the same pick orsame_materialfor the same article or post in another publication), and the main row lists the others inalsoauthor_claim— what the author said: market, selection, the author’s own priceauthor_claim_outcome— outcome of the author’s own claim at the final scoresettlements— calculations by series: stake, price, result and points of each Forecast Record series; a derived series is marked as derivedorigin,dates— origin of the record (recorded before kick-off, pre-match web archive, date stated by the source) and three separate dates: publication, source page date, first recorded by usrecord_counts— the counts of one set of records: statement, prediction, qualifying pick, settled pick, matchsimulations— points bankroll of each series, with top-ups shown separatelyretro— restored history: counts by origin, returns by series, closing-line value statuslead_time— profile: hours between our recording of each pick and kick-off (lead_hourson every row) and the share of picks recorded at least two hours before kick-offbaseline— profile: the same stakes on the same matches against backing the market favourite by the recorded line (match result, over/under, both teams to score, handicap only);favouriteon every settled rowscenarios— match page: picks of one author on the same match joined into one scenario, with their outcomesmatch_summary.lead_time— match page: hours between our recording of each pick and kick-off and the share recorded at least two hours before kick-off, counted as on author profiles
Statuses are always one of measured, stated, calculated, unknown; unknown is never written as zero. Points are hundredths in the JSON (10000 = 100 points).
