Total GP of a driver or team

[llucxdev]

Hello, I am trying to get the total number of GPS for a driver and a team.
For a driver I use /ergast/f1/drivers/alonso/results.json?limit=1 and I get the total.
But for a team it doesn't seem to work, for example for Ferrari /ergast/f1/constructors/ferrari/results.json?limit=1 the total is 2439 as of today, but when I search on the internet I get another information, Ferrari's total GP is 1098.
I don't understand how I can access this information to get the total number of GPs that a team has made.

Hey, the issue you're having is that a given constructor will have multiple results per round. (e.g. Hamilton's and Leclerc's).

I'd suggest using the races endpoint instead, for example:
https://api.jolpi.ca/ergast/f1/drivers/alonso/races.json?limit=1
https://api.jolpi.ca/ergast/f1/constructors/ferrari/races.json?limit=1

for ferrari this currently returns 1100, which aligns with wikipedia's number on total races entered. I believe the 1098 (or 1097 value on wikipedia) is rounds where at least one driver starts.

We don't have this available as a filter, so to get this number you may need to do some local analysis. However, we'll be sure to take this into account when we create new endpoints later this year.

Thank you so much for responding so quickly. You are doing a really great job with this API. I am making a web page to display data using your API. I will be able to launch it in the future as it is still under maintenance and is part of my final project as a web page developer.
