Formula 1 API — schedule, results, standings & live (no key)

Everything Formula 1, behind a clean HTTP API (and MCP tool): the race calendar, results (race, qualifying and sprint), championship standings (drivers & constructors) from 1950 to today, and a live-session leaderboard with positions and gaps. Built for F1 dashboards, bots, betting/fantasy tools and agents — covering before, during and after every Grand Prix. No API key. Pay per query.

• 🗓️ Schedule — the full race calendar for any season; the next race is flagged for the current season.
• 🏁 Results — race, qualifying or sprint results for any round: positions, times, grid, points, fastest lap.
• 🏆 Standings — drivers' and constructors' championship tables.
• 🔴 Live — the current/most-recent session's leaderboard (position, driver, team, gap to leader, interval) via OpenF1.
• 📚 1950–present — decades of historical data, keyless.
• 💵 Pay per query · no key.

Before, during & after the race

• Before: schedule (next race, circuit, date/time) and results?type=qualifying (grid).
• During: live — the running order with gaps, updated in near-real-time from OpenF1 timing.
• After: results (final classification) and standings (updated championship).

FAQ

Do I need a key? No — this uses the keyless Jolpica-F1 (the maintained successor to the Ergast API) and OpenF1.

How live is live? OpenF1 updates during a session in near-real-time; between events, live returns the most recent session's final order.

How far back does it go? Results and standings go back to the 1950 season.
