Question 1

How do I get started with the API?

Accepted Answer

Sign up for a free account to receive your API key instantly. Check our documentation for authentication details and endpoint references.

Question 2

Do you provide lap-by-lap data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For Formula 1 sessions, the lap-chart endpoint returns the running order lap by lap (a position-by-lap grid with the car number in each cell), and the lap-times endpoint returns each driver's individual lap times (a car-by-lap grid). Both are available as JSON, CSV, or text, and are included on all paid plans.

Question 3

Can I call the API directly from the browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on any paid plan. CORS is enabled on the data endpoints, so browser JavaScript can fetch them with your key in the X-API-Key header, and the rate-limit headers are readable from page scripts. Keep in mind that a key shipped in a page is visible to your visitors: use a dedicated key you can rotate from your profile, or proxy through your own backend for production traffic. The free tier is server-side only.
