OpenF1 vs TourneyRadar
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.
TourneyRadar aggregates upcoming over-the-board chess tournaments -- currently spanning 46 countries' worth of national-federation listings -- with venue, arbiter, time-control, and FIDE-rating category details pulled from federation calendars. The API is free, keyless, and returns JSON with open CORS across tournament, country, and full-text search endpoints, though optional fields like entry fees and prize pools are frequently left null by the underlying source data.
