A wider perspective
Beyond trading
and betting.
An interest in historical racing market data can start with many different questions—about a runner, a race, a price movement or a pattern over time. Whatever your perspective, ExchangeSchema helps you prepare that data for your own exploration. Choose your columns, output profile and sampling options, then work with the resulting Excel or CSV files in your preferred analysis tools. You bring the questions; ExchangeSchema makes the data easier to work with.
From archive to analysis
Four steps. A useful dataset.
No coding. No manual archive extraction.
Select your downloaded archive
Choose FILE and select your Betfair Historical Data data.tar archive. ExchangeSchema reads the supported files inside it. Already extracted the data? Choose FOLDER instead.
Choose your datasets and dates
Select the country, market and data tier you want to convert. Mixed archives can contain several datasets; each selected dataset produces a separate output.
Customise your output
Choose your profile and columns. For timelines, keep all available observations or select a sampling interval. Choose Excel or CSV where supported, then set your destination folder.
Convert and open your results
Follow the progress in the app, then open your exported files. Conversion time depends on the source data, output settings and your computer.
Your columns. Your analysis.

detail into focus.

How timeline sampling works
Choose All Updates (Raw), 1 Second, 5 Seconds, 10 Seconds, 30 Seconds or 1 Minute. Sampled output keeps the last observed runner state within each interval, with its original timestamp. It does not fill gaps or create price bars.
Sampling works with observations already present in your source. It cannot add tick-level detail to a lower-detail archive. Pro Full-Depth Changes always uses raw changes and requires Pro source data.

A few useful answers
Before you
get started.
Know what to expect from your data, your exports and your access.
Do I need Python or coding experience?
No. Install ExchangeSchema using the Windows installer and open it from its shortcut. Python is included with the app. Use Excel or a compatible application to view XLSX workbooks.
Is my racing data uploaded anywhere?
Your racing data is processed locally on your PC. Subscription licence checks use an internet connection; your source archive is not uploaded as part of those checks. Purchased Basic month access works offline once its licence is installed.
What does the one-day free trial include?
You can convert your downloaded racing data for one calendar day, across supported Basic, Advanced and Pro datasets. You can export that same day again as often as you like, trying different profiles, columns and sampling settings.
The day refers to the date of the racing data, not a 24-hour period for using the app. At your first eligible export attempt, the app reserves the earliest scheduled race date in your selection, measured in UTC. Other dates are excluded.
Why are some spreadsheet fields blank?
The available detail depends on the data tier and fields supplied for that market. A column can be included in the output even when the source contains no value for it.
Which historical file type should I download?
Choose Market files, labelled M in the historical download options. ExchangeSchema does not split combined Event files, labelled E, into individual markets.
What does a Basic month purchase include?
One purchase lets you convert your downloaded Betfair Basic data for one chosen calendar month and year—for example, January 2026. It covers all supported countries and markets. You can export that month as often as you like, with no expiry.
The month refers to the racing data, not 30 days of app use. You can buy additional months, including months that are not consecutive. Advanced and Pro data require a subscription beyond the trial.
What if my archive contains more than one month?
You can select the full archive. In Basic purchase mode, ExchangeSchema converts supported Basic markets covered by the months you own and excludes the rest. You do not need to split the archive yourself.
For example, if your download contains January, February and March 2026 and you own January 2026, only January’s eligible markets are converted. Dates are based on each market’s scheduled start in UTC. The full available history for each included market is retained.
What happens when a subscription ends?
Your exported spreadsheets remain usable. Any Basic calendar months you have purchased retain their separate conversion access. Uninstalling the app or deactivating its licence does not cancel subscription billing.
Does a subscription need an internet connection?
An internet connection is required for activation and at the start of each export batch. The conversion of your racing data still takes place locally on your PC.
