Frequently Ask Question

Is the project still active?

Yes, the Lottery Results API project is very much alive, and version 1.0.0 has been released! Since this project is developed in my free time, progress may sometimes seem slow—or even non-existent—from a user perspective, especially in a world where everything moves fast.

From my perspective, this project is intended to last over the long term. Every decision is carefully considered before implementation. I prioritize the stability and reliability of the application over releasing new features that may not be used.

If you are using the API and have ideas, suggestions, or feature requests, please don’t hesitate to get in touch: contact@lotteryresultsapi.com

I don't know where to start with the API

I recommend starting with the "Getting Started" page, this is the best first step if you want to understand how to interact with the API.

Next, I encourage you to explore the Swagger interface, which allows you to interact with the API directly and test requests in real time. More infos of what is Swagger here

And if you’re still unsure or need guidance, don’t hesitate to contact us—we’ll be more than happy to help! contact@lotteryresultsapi.com

I want to delete my user account, how can I do that?

There is currently no feature to automatically or independently delete user data. If you would like your data to be removed, please send a message to contact@lotteryresultsapi.com using the email address associated with your account and we will confirm the deletion once your request is received.

FAQ Alpha version

I want to switch my integration and stop using the alpha version. How should I proceed?

The new Lottery Results API version introduces some changes that you need to consider. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of changes:

  • Standardized endpoints for better consistency.
  • Modified response formats for improved readability and compatibility.
  • Removal of deprecated or insecure features.
  • Addition of new features to simplify integration and support future evolution.

We recommend checking the Swagger interface to known all new endpoints for your integration.

Everything has changed, I’m confused — do I need to rewrite my integration?

We understand your concerns. After three years in alpha, we identified inconsistencies in endpoint structure and data formats.

The new stable version of Lottery Results API provides:

  • A more stable and consistent API.
  • Future updates that won’t break your existing integrations.

If you’re not ready to migrate yet, you can still use the old alpha API here: https://api.lotteryresultsapi.com/alpha/docs

Note

Make sure to include the sub-path /alpha in your requests to access the old API. The alpha API will be permanently shut down in a few months, so we strongly encourage you to migrate to the new version.

How long can I continue using the alpha API?

The alpha API will remain accessible for a limited transition period to allow all users to migrate their integrations. After this period, access will be permanently closed.

Can I use both versions (alpha and v1.0.0) in parallel?

Yes, you can use both versions in parallel while testing and migrating your integrations. However, we recommend planning your migration soon to avoid conflicts or errors.
