Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an API key?

Subscribe to the API on RapidAPI and copy your key from the RapidAPI dashboard. Send it as the X-RapidAPI-Key header together with X-RapidAPI-Host. There is no separate Racing APIs account.

What are the plans and rate limits?

Plans, quotas and rate limits are set on each API's RapidAPI listing. RapidAPI handles billing and enforces the limits for your key.

How fresh is the data?

Race results and championship standings are updated after each race weekend. Rider and team profiles are refreshed when a new season is imported.

Which seasons are covered?

Call GET /seasons for the current list of available seasons and GET /seasons/latest for the most recent one. Each season reports its status (completed, ongoing or upcoming).

What does a response look like?

Every successful response is a JSON object with data (an object or array) and meta (totals and paging). Errors return a JSON body with an HTTP status, message and error code.
