}About the formula1.com API
This API exposes 13 endpoints covering Formula 1 race data sourced from formula1.com, spanning seasons from 1950 to the present. You can retrieve full race result detail including all finishing positions and gap times via get_race_result_detail, pull qualifying Q1/Q2/Q3 lap times per driver, fetch pit stop summaries with per-stop durations, and query both Drivers' and Constructors' Championship standings for any season.
Session and Meeting Data
All per-event endpoints require a meeting_id, which you obtain from get_meetings_list by passing a year parameter. That endpoint returns an array of meeting objects with a value field (the meeting ID), a text field for the location name, and meetingIsoCountryName for the country. Before fetching any session data, you can call get_session_datasets with a year and meeting_id to discover which result types — race, qualifying, practice, fastest laps, pit stops, starting grid — are actually available for that event, since not every meeting has all sessions populated.
Race Weekend Results
get_race_result_detail returns a raceResultsRace object containing a full results array with each driver's finishing position, classified time, and gap to the leader. get_qualifying_result adds per-driver q1, q2, and q3 lap times. get_practice_result accepts an optional session_number (1, 2, or 3) to target a specific free practice session, returning a raceResultsPractice1/2/3 object. get_starting_grid provides positionNumber and classifiedTime per driver. get_fastest_laps returns a ranked list including lapNumber, classifiedTime, and averageSpeed. get_pit_stop_summary exposes each stop's lapNumber, pitStopNumber, and totalPitTime.
Standings and Champions
get_driver_standings and get_team_standings both accept a year and return championship points, positions, and associated team or driver details. Note that the drivers array from get_driver_standings may not be sorted by positionNumber — sort client-side if you need ordered output. get_world_champion_by_year isolates the driver at positionNumber 1 for a given season and returns upstream_error if no champion data exists yet for that year.
Season Schedule and Awards
get_race_results_by_season returns the full calendar for a year as an events array, including top-3 finishers and seasonState indicating whether the season is complete or ongoing. get_award_results retrieves Driver of the Day voting results, including votePercentage and votePosition per driver, and can be filtered to a specific meeting by appending a meeting filter to the award_path parameter.

Does Formula 1 have an official developer API?+
What does `get_race_result_detail` return beyond finishing positions?+
get_race_result_detail returns a raceResultsRace object with a full results array covering each driver's finishing position, classified time, and gap to the race leader, along with session metadata and meeting information. It does not include telemetry or lap-by-lap breakdowns — only final classified results.Does the driver standings endpoint return results sorted by championship position?+
drivers array from get_driver_standings may be unordered by positionNumber. You should sort the array client-side on positionNumber to display a correctly ordered standings table.Does the API cover Sprint race results?+
How far back does historical season data go, and are all sessions available for older years?+
year parameter accepts seasons going back to 1950 according to the prior description, but session-level data such as qualifying times and pit stop summaries may not be populated for older seasons. You can call get_session_datasets for a given year and meeting_id to check which result types have isAvailable set to true before attempting to fetch them.
