Introduction
The Rally API provides schedules and post-race results for the World Rally Championship. All data is collected via Sportradar’s expert operators.
Select the Rally package in our Coverage Matrix for events and data offered.
This API uses a descending, stage-based structure. By changing the stage ID, you can retrieve information on a season, event, or race.
Additional feeds provide complementary stats, including racer profiles and race win probabilities.
Authentication is required for all API calls.
Stage Format
The core of this API is built around the concept of stages. For example, an event may contain the following stage types: practice, qualifying, and race. Each of those stages, in turn, have stages. The IDs of each stage are usable in the Stage Summary path to request information about that particular stage.
See the below Stage Types table for all available stage types, their sub-stages, and their definitions.
The best way to start the navigation with the Rally API is the Seasons endpoint. From there, obtain the stage ID for the season required and use that in the Stage Summary as a starting point into the sub-stages.
