Steps
Subscribe to a Scratch Plus membership to receive an API key — the API is paid-tier only, no free public access
Append the key as the 'key' query parameter on every request, e.g. feeds.datagolf.com/preds/get-dg-rankings?file_format=json&key=API_TOKEN
Call preds/get-dg-rankings for the top-500 DG Rankings with skill estimates and OWGR rank, or preds/pre-tournament for full-field finish-position probabilities
Use historical-raw-data/event-list to find event_id/year values, then query historical-raw-data/rounds for round-level scoring, stats, and strokes-gained across 22 global tours
Choose file_format=json or csv depending on your pipeline
Known gotchas
Rate limit is 45 requests/minute across all endpoints combined (not per-endpoint); exceeding it triggers a 5-minute suspension
Historical raw data coverage varies by tour (PGA Tour back to 2004, Majors/Players back to 1983, most other tours only from 2017)
Live model and betting-tools endpoints depend on active tournament state — they can return empty outside live play windows
