Coverage

What races are covered in the Formula E API?

The entire Formula E Championship. For a more detailed breakdown, reference our Coverage Matrix.

Integration

What format are date fields presented in?

Date values are presented in the ISO 8601 standard format.

Timestamp fields are in UTC. These could include scheduled start times or play-by-play event timestamps. Examples: scheduled="2024-02-11T23:30:00+00:00", created_at="2024-02-11T23:43:20+00:00"

Date-only fields reflect local league convention and are not UTC-adjusted. These could include season start dates and birth dates. Examples: start_date="2024-08-16", date_of_birth="1984-09-22"

How do I locate the TTL (Time to Live)/cache on an API endpoint?

The cache (in seconds) can be accessed in the returned header information on each RESTful API call, under cache-control.

ex. cache-control: max-age=1, public, s-maxage=1 or
cache-control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=120

How do I know what 'stage' I am currently looking at?

Each stage has a stage element. The stage element has an attribute type which displays the stage type. The valid stage types are listed here.

Probabilities

Where are the race probabilities for Formula E?

At this time, Sportradar only provides probabilities at the championship level for Formula E.

How do I get probabilities for the entire Championship? Or only one race?

You can use season, event, and race stage IDs as parameters for the Stage Probabilities endpoint.

Probabilities are available for the individual driver to win the season, a single event, and race stage. Probabilities are not available on the Sport, Practice, Qualifying, or Lap stages.

Standings

How do I see the Championship points table?

Use the Stage Summary endpoint and a season stage ID as the parameter. The competitors node lists competitors, ranked with points, position, victories, races, races with points, and podiums.
