FAQ

What is the data source? All data comes from the public pages of ProCyclingStats.com, the most comprehensive free professional road cycling statistics database.

Is this actor affiliated with ProCyclingStats? No — this is an independent, third-party actor that reads publicly available pages. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by ProCyclingStats.

How do I find a race, rider, or team slug? Visit the corresponding page on procyclingstats.com and copy the last part of the URL — e.g. procyclingstats.com/rider/tadej-pogacar → slug tadej-pogacar. Full URLs are also accepted directly in the riderSlugs / teamSlugs / raceSlug fields.

Why does raceStage vary by race? Stage races (Grand Tours, week-long stage races) use stage-1, stage-2, … and gc for the general classification. One-day races (Classics, World Championships) use result. Some Grand Tours also have a prologue.

Why are some ranking rows missing a team field? Team, nation, and race rankings only rank a single entity type and have no separate "current team" column, so team is omitted for those ranking types.

Why does rankingType only offer 2 categories (me/we) and why do some ranking types say "men only" / "women only"? ProCyclingStats uses different, inconsistent internal ranking-type names for men's and women's cycling (e.g. men's wins-individual vs women's individual-wins), and for junior/national-team categories the site's ranking-type taxonomy could not be reliably verified. To guarantee correct data, only the men-elite and women-elite combinations that were confirmed to return real, category-matching results are exposed. If you pick a ranking type that doesn't apply to the selected category, the actor automatically falls back to individual for that category and logs the substitution — it will never silently return the wrong category's data.

How fresh is the data? Every run fetches the live page directly from procyclingstats.com at request time — there is no caching.

Why does opening a sourceUrl sometimes look blocked to automated tools? procyclingstats.com fronts its pages with bot-fingerprinting that can reject simplistic HTTP clients (e.g. a bare curl request). Every sourceUrl returned by this actor loads normally in a real web browser.

Why do some riders have no age or specialtyPoints? Retired or lesser-known riders sometimes have incomplete profile pages on the source site; fields that aren't present are simply omitted rather than returned as null or zero.
