How to use
Scrape specific drivers
Provide a list of DriverDB.com driver profile URLs:
{"startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/max-verstappen/" },{ "url": "https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/lewis-hamilton/" },{ "url": "https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/fernando-alonso/" }],"maxItems": 10}
Scrape by series or index
Provide a DriverDB series listing URL to get all drivers in that series:
{"startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.driverdb.com/championships/formula-1/" }],"maxItems": 30}
Full database crawl
Leave startUrls empty to crawl all drivers alphabetically. The actor walks the A-Z index pages and scrapes every profile it finds:
{"maxItems": 1000}
Input
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
startUrls | array | [] | DriverDB driver URLs to scrape. Leave empty for full alphabetical crawl. |
maxItems | integer | 0 | Maximum driver records to return. 0 means no limit. |
Notes
- Bot protection: DriverDB.com sits behind a bot challenge. This actor clears the challenge once per run and reuses the session. Typical clearance time: 15-25 seconds.
- Data source: Profile data is extracted from the page's embedded JSON (Next.js SSR), not scraped from rendered HTML, so it is complete and reliable.
- Data freshness: Statistics reflect what DriverDB has published. Career data is sourced directly from the site's structured data.
