DiscGolf vs OpenF1
DiscGolfAPI catalogs disc golf courses worldwide with location, hole counts, and a confidence score showing how well each listing has been verified, aimed at map and directory builders rather than official tour data. The public read endpoints (courses, countries, regions) need no API key and return JSON, throttled only by a fair-use policy against excessive automated traffic; a separate POST endpoint lets anyone submit corrections.
OpenF1 is an open-source F1 data API spanning 18 endpoints -- car telemetry at up to 3.7Hz, lap and sector times, race-control flags, pit stops, team radio, and championship standings -- returned as JSON or, by appending a query flag, CSV. Historical data back to the 2023 season is free with no API key, credit card, or signup at all; a paid Sponsor tier (about €9.90/month) only adds access during live sessions, roughly 3 seconds after real-world events. A live request confirmed the public endpoint responds keyless and echoes permissive CORS headers, matching its "zero friction" pitch.
