data[].idstring

Slug identifier such as `adderly-fong`, used in the detail paths.

data[].name / first_name / last_name / full_namestring

Display name, its components, and the full formal name including any additional given names.

data[].abbreviationstring

Three-letter broadcast code, for example `FON`.

data[].date_of_birth / date_of_deathstring

ISO dates. `date_of_death` is null for living drivers.

data[].place_of_birthstring

City of birth.

data[].nationality_country_id / country_of_birth_country_id / second_nationality_country_idstring

Country slugs, which can differ — nationality raced under is not always country of birth.

data[].permanent_numberinteger

Career number where the driver has one. Null for the great majority.

data[].total_race_entries / total_race_startsinteger

Entries and actual starts. They differ when a driver failed to qualify or withdrew.

data[].total_race_wins / total_podiums / total_pole_positions / total_fastest_lapsinteger

Precomputed career totals — no aggregation needed.

data[].total_points / total_championship_pointsstring

Points as decimal strings, because half points have been awarded in shortened races. Parse before arithmetic.

data[].total_championship_wins / total_grand_slams / total_driver_of_the_dayinteger

Titles, grand slams and modern fan-award counts.

• Build an F1 statistics site without aggregating results yourself
• Generate driver career summary cards
• Compare constructors across eras using precomputed totals
• Produce a typed API client straight from the published OpenAPI spec

If RacingHub does not fit, these sports & fitness apis cover similar ground. Every one was called before publishing, and each links to its own reference page with a working curl command and the response it returned.
