Formula 1 as data: results, qualifying, laps, pit stops, standings and tyre strategy
The Formula 1 Data Scraper returns clean rows in eight modes: race results with grid and fastest lap, qualifying (Q1/Q2/Q3), lap-by-lap times, pit stops, driver and constructor standings, the season schedule, and tyre stints (compound, age and lap range, 2023 onward). From two free open sources — Jolpica (the Ergast successor) and OpenF1. No API key, no login.

- Tyre stints from 2023 onward — OpenF1 covers 2023+; earlier seasons return a clear message.
- No full car telemetry (throttle, brake, RPM) — lap times, pit/position data and tyre stints are included; raw telemetry is OpenF1's separate feed.
round: allonly for results — the heavy modes read one Grand Prix at a time; a future round returns empty until the race happens.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key or a login?
No. The Actor reads two free, open sources directly — Jolpica (the maintained Ergast successor) and OpenF1 — with no F1 API key, no account and no browser. Pick a mode, a season and a round and run.
Which seasons and data does it cover?
Results, qualifying, lap times, pit stops, standings and the schedule go back across the Ergast archive — more than seventy seasons from 1950 onward. Tyre stints come from OpenF1 and are available from the 2023 season onward.
What is a tyre stint row?
One continuous run on a single set of tyres: the driver, team, stint number, compound (SOFT/MEDIUM/HARD/INTERMEDIATE/WET), tyre age at start and the lap range — enough to reconstruct each driver's full strategy.
Does it include lap-by-lap times?
Yes — the laps mode returns one row per driver per lap, with the lap time and the driver's running position. A full Grand Prix has roughly a thousand lap rows across the field; use maxResults: 0.
Why can't I use round: all for laps or tyre stints?
Those modes read one Grand Prix at a time to keep each run fast and polite to the source. Use a round number or last, and run several rounds for a whole season. round: all is supported for results.
