Jolpica F1 Scraper - Race Results, Qualifying & Standings

Extract Formula 1 race results, qualifying times, driver and constructor standings, lap times, and pit stops from the Jolpica F1 API — the community-maintained successor to the Ergast API (retired end-2024). All seasons 1950 through 2025-2026 are available.

Why Jolpica? Ergast was the de-facto F1 data standard for a decade. When it was retired at the end of 2024, every fantasy app, sim-racing tool, and analytics script had to migrate. Jolpica is the migration target — same schema, live updates, free and open. This actor points at Jolpica, not the dead Ergast endpoint.

Driver Standings (driver_standings)

Championship points, wins, and position per driver, per season (or per round).

Constructor Standings (constructor_standings)

Lap Times (lap_times)

Per-lap position and time for every driver in a specific race (requires season + round).
