Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that the season code is correct and that the event selection matches a valid Grand Prix. If the season has ended, SailGP may have archived the data under a different code.
The output has fewer rows than expected.
Increase the maxItems input. The default is 10, but some events may have more teams or additional standings entries.
I see an error about invalid season code.
Verify the season code against the SailGP website. The code is case-sensitive and must match exactly, including hyphens.
Can I get data for a season not listed in the event dropdown?
The dropdown lists known events for the current season. For other seasons, you can manually enter the season code in the season field and set event to 'season' to get the full standings.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a season code? | A season code is SailGP's internal identifier for a championship season, like SGP-IL-S03-CHAMP. You can find it in the URL of the standings page on sailgp.com. |
| Can I get standings for a single Grand Prix? | Yes. Set the event input to one of the listed Grand Prix codes, such as SGP-IL-S03-GP01-BER-BER for Bermuda, and the Actor returns only that event's standings. |
| How many standings can I collect? | You can set maxItems to any number from 1 to 1,000,000. The default is 10, which is enough for all teams in a season or event. |
| What format is the output? | The Actor returns a flat JSON array of team objects. You can export it to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify dataset. |
| Do I need an API key or login? | No. The Actor reads SailGP's public standings feed directly, so no authentication is required. |
| How often is the data updated? | The Actor fetches live data each time it runs, so you always get the latest published standings. |
| Can I schedule this Actor to run automatically? | Yes, you can set up a schedule in Apify to run it daily, weekly, or after each Grand Prix. |
| What if a season code changes? | SailGP occasionally updates its season codes. Check the standings page URL for the current code and update the input accordingly. |
