A simple wrapper around the iRacing General Data API

About

iracing-data-api is a simple Python wrapper around the General Data API released by iRacing in January 2022 and documented here.

The client allows easy access to some of the most useful endpoints of the data API.

Installation

pip install iracingdataapi

Examples

from iracingdataapi.client import irDataClient

idc = irDataClient(username=[YOUR iRACING USERNAME], password=[YOUR iRACING PASSWORD])

# get the summary data of a member
idc.stats_member_summary(cust_id=20979)

# get latest results of a member
idc.stats_member_recent_races(cust_id=209179)

# get all laps for a specific driver in a race
idc.result_lap_data(subsession_id=43720351, cust_id=209179)

All available methods of irDataClient are included in client.py.

Contributing

I welcome all pull requests for improvements or missing endpoints over time as they are added by iRacing.

Changelog

1.1.0

• Added docstrings to all methods for developer experience
• Renamed series() to get_series() for consistency. Breaking change: For that same consistency, series has been reimplemented as a property which returns the series with their assets. To amend your implementation, either switch to get_series() or remove any brackets in your call of series.
• Renamed get_carclass() to get_carclasses() to be more consistent with other endpoints. NOTE: get_carclass() will be removed in a future release.
• Added assets to the returned data of tracks. If you prefer not to get those assets, use get_tracks().
• Removed redundant cookie handling code, as that is all handled within requests.Session
• Fixed a ratelimiting error
• Fixed a ratelimiting bug
• Fixed a bug related to empty results
• Improved handling of results

1.0.6

• Bug fix in result_lap_data method, which will now return an empty list for any cust_id/subsession_id combinations for which laps were not turned.

1.0.5

• Added a wait when hitting a rate limit

1.0.4

• Bug fix: Previously an attempt wouldn't be retried if the authentication data became stale. This release fixes that

1.0.3

• Added the endpoints described in the August 22nd update

1.0.2

• Adjusted login flow to avoid logging in on instantiation of an irDataClient object
• Login now happens either on the initial call to an iRacing endpoint, or whenever a 401 Unauthorized response is received form iRacing

1.0.1

• Adjusted result_search_series to allow searches by date range without using season years and quarters.
