A week or so ago, Will Vaughan tipped me off to a Python package he's started putting together to wrap the ergast motor racing results database: ergast-python.
He's also making a start on some Wrangling F1 Data Jupyter notebooks that make use of the wrapper: wranglingf1data.
Very nice:-)
It also prompted me to finally split out my own crappy ergast API wrapper R code into an R package of its own: ergastR.
It needs tidying up, and could probably do with being updated to "new R" and a more recent JSON package, but it should work enough to cope with my own Wrangling F1 Data With R code. (If it doesn't, shout!)
The R package also needs work on the following: cacheing, so that we don't keep hitting the ergast API unnecessarily; paged results handling (I fudge this a bit at the moment by explicitly setting a large results limit); and dual handling of ergast API versus ergast database requests. (If a database connection string is passed, use that rather than make a call to the ergast API.)
Any issues with the R package, please feel free to raise them on the Github site, although I can't guarantee how quickly I'll get to them...
Thank you for benefiting from time to focus on this kind of, I feel firmly about it and also really like comprehending far more with this particular subject matter. In case doable, when you get know-how, is it possible to thoughts modernizing your site together with far more details? It’s extremely useful to me.
