## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

### Input

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|-------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
| `endpoint` | string | ✅ | `latest-results` | Data type: `race-results`, `qualifying`, `standings-drivers`, `standings-constructors`, `schedule`, `drivers`, `constructors`, `circuits`, `latest-results` |
| `year` | integer | ❌ | 0 (current) | F1 season year (1950–present). 0 = current season |
| `round` | integer | ❌ | 0 (all) | Specific race round number. 0 = all rounds |
| `limit` | integer | ❌ | 100 | Max records to return. 0 = no limit |

### Example input

```json
{
    "endpoint": "race-results",
    "year": 2025,
    "round": 1,
    "limit": 20
}
````

### Output

Each record is pushed to the dataset as a JSON object. Fields vary by endpoint:

#### Race results

```json
{
    "dataType": "race-results",
    "season": 2025,
    "round": 1,
    "raceName": "Australian Grand Prix",

```

### Pricing

**$0.50 per 1,000 results**

Pay only for what you use. A typical race result query returns 20 records (one per driver) for less than $0.01.

### Data source

This Actor uses the [Jolpica-F1 API](https://github.com/jolpica/jolpica-f1) — a free, open-source, community-maintained API that serves as a drop-in replacement for the deprecated Ergast API. No authentication is required.

### Notes

- Data is available from the 1950 season to the current season
- For the current season, only completed races will have results — future races will appear in the schedule
- The `latest-results` endpoint returns results from the most recently completed race
- Rate limiting is handled automatically with pagination support

    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("du7chmaniac/f1-data-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
