I think the second update statement was truncated. Here goes both statements again:
update results
set (fastestLap,fastestLapTime) = (select lap, time from (select l.lap, l.time, min(l.milliseconds) from laptimes l where l.raceId=results.raceId and l.driverId=results.driverId))
where raceId in (select raceId from races where year between 1996 and 2003);
update results
set rank=(select count(*)+1 from results r where r.raceId = results.raceId and r.fastestLapTime 0 and raceId in (select raceId from races where year between 1996 and 2003);
Harrrg, it’s the ‘less than’ and ‘greater than’ signs!
Let’s try again the 2 statements:
update results
set (fastestLap,fastestLapTime) = (select lap, time from (select l.lap, l.time, min(l.milliseconds) from laptimes l where l.raceId=results.raceId and l.driverId=results.driverId))
where raceId in (select raceId from races where year between 1996 and 2003);
update results
set rank=(select count(*)+1 from results r where r.raceId = results.raceId and r.fastestLapTime < results.fastestLapTime)
where laps > 0 and raceId in (select raceId from races where year between 1996 and 2003);
Hi Miguel,
Many thanks. I may try this offline initially.

Hi Chris,
Just wanted to drop you a line to say hi and to let you know I’m working on a React frontend for the API as a portfolio project. I’ll be getting docker going and putting the API on my local, but in case you were wondering about the increased requests that’s me. Feel free to email me with any questions/concerns, thanks!
Best,
Dan
Thanks so much for this, appreciated!
Just wondering why you have inconsistent casing of fields in the JSON view? eg. “raceName” (good), “season” (good), then “Circuit”?
Hi Jason,
The original idea was that elements with structure started with a capital letter whereas singular values started with lowercase. However, there are a few mistakes and inconsistencies which are difficult to change now – like using strings for integers.

Hi Jason,
The API doesn’t make use of data from F1.com but uses a variety of public sources.
Chris
I first wanted to thank you for this API.
I am developing an Android application in which I store the information in a local database.
Is there a way to know what content has been modified since a specific time? Or something like an index indicating the version of each table?
In this way, it would only be necessary to request the table that has a greater version than the one stored locally, thus avoiding unnecessary calls.
Thanks!
Hi David,
Unfortunately, I don’t think there’s anything currently in the API which would support that. The last time I looked at incremental updates I came to the conclusion that there was no reliable solution – but I’m open to ideas!
Chris
Hi, is it possible to retrieve the Free Practice lap times from the API? I didn’t find so I’m guessing no, but asking never hurts 🙂
Cheers,
Davide
Hi Davide,
Unfortunately not – it would need to be processed on Friday, which is a working day.

Hi Chris,
Thanks for sharing this data and API. I’ve defined some of the endpoints in OpenAPI Spec to help generate libraries for some of my projects. I’m posting it here in case someone else can find it useful. Thanks again for collecting and sharing this data!

Hi Adam,
Many thanks for sharing the endpoint descriptions. I’ve added your link to a section on API tools in the Application Gallery.
