Official Node.js/TypeScript SDK for RaceHooks — the motorsports analytics platform. Subscribe to 50+ live F1 feeds with production ML models enriching every Analytics-tier payload, verify HMAC signatures, and query live and historical race data — all fully typed.

import { RaceHooks } from "racehooks";
const rh = new RaceHooks({
clientId: process.env.RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.RACEHOOKS_CLIENT_SECRET!,
});
// Subscribe to all race events (overtakes, pit stops, safety cars, DNFs, …)
const { webhook, webhookSecret } = await rh.webhooks.create({
feedId: "events.race",
webhookUrl: "https://yourserver.com/webhook",
});
// SAVE webhookSecret immediately — it is shown only once.
console.log("Signing secret:", webhookSecret);Your endpoint will now receive JSON payloads like:
{
"feed": "events.race",
"sessionId": "2026-bahrain_r",
"event": "overtake",
"lap": 34,
"utc": "2026-06-01T14:23:01.123Z",
"data": {
"overtakingDriver": {
"number": "4", "driverId": "lando_norris", "constructorId": "mclaren",
"tla": "NOR", "name": "Lando Norris", "team": "McLaren F1 Team",
"newPosition": 1, "prevPosition": 2
},
"overtakenDriver": {
"number": "1", "driverId": "max_verstappen", "constructorId": "red-bull",
"tla": "VER", "name": "Max Verstappen", "team": "Red Bull Racing",
"newPosition": 2, "prevPosition": 1
}
}
}Every payload carries the full DriverRef identity block (number, driverId,
constructorId, tla, name, team) — no need to join against driver.list.
import { verifySignatureBoolean } from "racehooks";
import type { IncomingMessage } from "http";
function readBody(req: IncomingMessage): Promise<Buffer> {
return new Promise(resolve => {
const chunks: Buffer[] = [];
req.on("data", c => chunks.push(c));
req.on("end", () => resolve(Buffer.concat(chunks)));
});
}
// Express example
app.post("/webhook", async (req, res) => {
const raw = await readBody(req);
const sig = req.headers["x-racehooks-signature"] as string;
if (!verifySignatureBoolean(raw, sig, process.env.WEBHOOK_SECRET!)) {
return res.status(401).send("Bad signature");
}
const payload = JSON.parse(raw.toString());
console.log("Event:", payload.event, payload.data);
res.sendStatus(200);
});Narrow which payloads get delivered — any combination of driver TLAs, constructor keywords, and position range.
// Ferrari drivers only, while they're in the top 5
await rh.webhooks.create({
feedId: "timing.data",
webhookUrl: "https://yourserver.com/webhook",
filters: {
constructors: ["ferrari"],
positions: { min: 1, max: 5 },
},
});
// Overtakes and pit stops for VER and NOR only
await rh.webhooks.create({
feedId: "events.race",
webhookUrl: "https://yourserver.com/webhook",
filters: { drivers: ["VER", "NOR"] },
});Subscribe to feedId: "events.race" to receive structured events derived from live timing:
| event | when |
|---|---|
session.start |
Session status → "Started" |
overtake |
On-track position gain (race/sprint only) |
pit.entry |
Driver enters pit lane |
pit.exit |
Driver exits pit lane |
lead.change |
P1 driver changes |
safety.car.deployed |
Full SC or VSC deployed |
safety.car.cleared |
SC/VSC ending or cleared |
fastest.lap |
New session fastest lap set |
retirement |
Driver retires |
On the Analytics tier, RaceHooks delivers a suite of derived
analytics.* and weather.* feeds, backed by production ML models and an algorithmic
intelligence layer (CTMC win/podium probability with a full position distribution, ECP/ECPA,
EKF tyre health). Each is an independently-subscribable feed with a fully-typed payload:
import type { StrategyPayload } from "racehooks";
// Per-lap strategy signals: pit probability, undercut threat, tyre health, LTOE
await rh.webhooks.create({
feedId: "analytics.strategy",
webhookUrl: "https://yourserver.com/webhook",
});
app.post("/webhook", (req, res) => {
const payload: StrategyPayload = req.body;
for (const d of payload.drivers) {
// Each driver spreads the full DriverRef, plus optional per-model snapshots.
console.log(d.tla, d.pitStopProbability, d.tireHealth?.tireHealth, d.ltoe?.ltoeSec);
}
res.sendStatus(200);
});Every feed's feed discriminator is its canonical (hyphenated) feedId, and each has a
matching exported payload type:
- Strategy & outcomes:
analytics.strategy,analytics.race-odds,analytics.true-pace,analytics.gap-projection,analytics.winning-margin,analytics.tire-strategy,analytics.team-points,analytics.championship-probability,analytics.qualifying - Pre-race & duration:
analytics.race-preview,analytics.race-duration - Live alerts:
analytics.sector-pace,analytics.battle,analytics.pit-window,analytics.track-conditions,analytics.pit-quality - Predictive weather:
weather.forecast-update,weather.rain-onset,weather.rain-cleared,weather.tire-mismatch,weather.strategy-divergence,weather.compound-crossover
Query race results, lap times, driver profiles, and post-race ML analytics for any session going back to 2020:
// Driver results and standings
const verstappen = await rh.data.getDriver("max_verstappen");
const results = await rh.data.getDriverResults("max_verstappen", { season: 2026 });
