WRC Rally Results Scraper

Apify Actor for scraping comprehensive rally results data from the WRC (World Rally Championship) API. This actor extracts detailed information about rally events, including driver entries, stage times, overall standings, split times, retirements, penalties, and shakedown results.

What does this actor do?

This actor scrapes all available data for a specific WRC rally event by its Event ID. It collects:

• Event information - name, country, dates, surface type
• Driver entries - participants, co-drivers, car details, teams
• Stage information - all stages with timing, distance, and status
• Itinerary - complete rally schedule with legs, sections, and controls
• Stage times - individual stage results for each driver
• Overall standings - cumulative results after each stage
• Split times - intermediate timing points within stages
• Final results - complete rally results with total times
• Retirements - DNF information with reasons
• Penalties - time penalties applied to drivers
• Shakedown times - pre-rally test stage results

Input

The actor accepts the following input parameters:

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
eventId	integer	Yes	-	WRC Event ID from the official WRC system
loadStageTimes	boolean	No	true	Load individual stage times for each stage
loadOverallTimes	boolean	No	true	Load cumulative overall standings after each stage
loadFinalResults	boolean	No	true	Load final overall standings
loadPenalties	boolean	No	true	Load penalty data
loadRetirements	boolean	No	true	Load retirement data
loadSplitTimes	boolean	No	true	Load intermediate split times within stages
loadDrivers	boolean	No	true	Load driver and car information
loadItinerary	boolean	No	true	Load stages and event schedule/itinerary
loadShakedown	boolean	No	true	Load shakedown times
specificStageNumbers	array of integers	No	-	Load data for only these specific stage numbers (e.g., [1, 3, 5] for SS1, SS3, and SS5). If not set, loads all stages.

Input Examples

Minimal input (loads everything):

{
  "eventId": 555
}

Custom configuration (load only specific data):

{
  "eventId": 555,
  "loadStageTimes": true,
  "loadOverallTimes": true,
  "loadFinalResults": true,
  "loadPenalties": false,
  "loadRetirements": false,
  "loadSplitTimes": false,
  "loadDrivers": true,
  "loadItinerary": true,
  "loadShakedown": false
}

Load only final results and drivers:

{
  "eventId": 555,
  "loadStageTimes": false,
  "loadOverallTimes": false,
  "loadFinalResults": true,
  "loadPenalties": false,
  "loadRetirements": false,
  "loadSplitTimes": false,
  "loadDrivers": true,
  "loadItinerary": false,
  "loadShakedown": false
}

Load split times for only stage 5 (SS5):

{
  "eventId": 555,
  "loadStageTimes": false,
  "loadOverallTimes": false,
  "loadFinalResults": false,
  "loadPenalties": false,
  "loadRetirements": false,
  "loadSplitTimes": true,
  "loadDrivers": false,
  "loadItinerary": true,
  "loadShakedown": false,
  "specificStageNumbers": [5]
}

Load all data types but only for stage 1:

{
  "eventId": 555,
  "specificStageNumbers": [1]
}

Load stage times and split times for stages 1, 3, 5, and 7:

{
  "eventId": 555,
  "loadStageTimes": true,
  "loadOverallTimes": false,
  "loadFinalResults": false,
  "loadPenalties": false,
  "loadRetirements": false,
  "loadSplitTimes": true,
  "loadDrivers": false,
  "loadItinerary": true,
  "loadShakedown": false,
  "specificStageNumbers": [1, 3, 5, 7]
}

How to find Event IDs

Event IDs can be found in the WRC API or website URLs. For example:

• Rally Saudi Arabia 2025: 555
• Rally Sweden 2025: 556
• Rally Guanajuato México 2025: 557

Output

The actor outputs a single JSON object containing all scraped data organized into the following sections:
