Start on the free tier

100 requests per minute and 1,000 per day, free — the highest per-minute burst of any free sports API we checked. Burst is what matters when something asks several questions in a row and waits on each answer.

  • Every sport and league we cover — the paid tiers add history depth and premium fields, not more leagues.
  • Calls are counted one for one — no credit weighting, no markets-times-regions arithmetic.
  • Link GitHub and the daily cap goes to 2,000.
  • No credit card.

Frequently asked

What Formula 1 data is available today?
The 2026 race calendar: every session with its date and location, via /v1/matches?sport=formula1. Session results are not retrievable yet — /v1/f1/sessions/:id/results is live and holds 2026 classifications, but no endpoint returns the session ids it needs, so treat results as in development rather than available.
Which Formula 1 seasons are covered?
The 2026 season. Season coverage is read from our coverage manifest, the single source of truth, so this page never claims a season we do not actually serve.
Is there a drivers or constructors standings endpoint?
Not yet. The F1 surface today is the 2026 calendar; championship standings are in development, and this page will list them once they ship.
Can I fetch session results yet?
Not yet. The results route exists and 2026 sessions are already computed behind it, but there is no endpoint that hands you a session id, so it is not callable end-to-end. A session-listing endpoint is the missing piece. Live lap-by-lap timing is not part of this surface either.
Does Formula 1 use the same schema and key as the other sports?
Yes. F1 comes back in the same canonical envelope as every other sport, authenticated with the same bearer key, so you do not learn a separate integration for it.
Is the Formula 1 API free?
Yes. The 2026 calendar on the free tier at 1,000 req/day (2,000 with GitHub), no credit card.
