F1 is missing round 4 about f1 HOT 3 CLOSED

We don't really use the rounds on our side. We tend to mark them as cancelled for a week or two and then remove them just to clean things up within the UI. The canceled flag doesn't behave super well within the layout on mobile devices so it was quicker to remove and revisit fixing that later.

We'll look at updating the round numbers next time we come to update the json.

Neat project! Do you access that json directly via GitHub or did you discover the https://f1calendar.com/api/year/2023 url.

Cool, yeah no worries, I wasn't sure it was being used anywhere, just thought I'd raise it when I saw it.

No problem about Imola situation either, it also doesn't impact my use case as I just show the next race.

Cheers! I fetch the json file from GitHub. I didn't want to assume it was ok to add additional load to your server so I didn't even look into the underlying apis etc. Originally I kept the file locally, but then Miami changed the race times the week of the race so I now download the file from GitHub every hour

There is also a chance that additional people will make the project too, so while it might be ok for one Arduino to be hitting the server, if there is a bunch it might add too much.

The code for it is here if your interested: https://github.com/witnessmenow/F1-Arduino-Notifications

Honestly it should be fine @witnessmenow. We're well within our limits and are fortunate to be sponsored by Vercel. We heavily cache the API routes so it's effectively pulling down a static file as long as it's only refreshing periodically with a sensible time between unlike Google Calendar who seem to refresh way too often. 😆
