# GET /v2/races

Group: Race sports

Races with a session starting on one UTC day, each with all its sessions.

Note: At most 40 races a day. A race weekend appears on every day one of its sessions starts. The source files some weekends twice under two series of one name (NASCAR Cup Series); the copy whose series has no seasons is left out of the day (its id still answers on /v2/races/{id}).

## Parameters

| Name | In | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `sport` | query | yes | motorsport \| cycling |
| `date` | query | yes | a UTC day, YYYY-MM-DD |

## Response

- `data`: `Race[]`
- `meta`: date, sport, count, complete (false when some races could not be fetched right now — retry shortly)
- Objects: Race (https://sportsapi.app/markdown/en/reference.md#race)

## Errors

- 400 bad_request — missing or invalid date, sport not a race sport
- 403 history_not_in_plan — a day before your plan’s history
- 503 upstream_unavailable — none of the day’s races could be fetched

Plus the common errors (https://sportsapi.app/markdown/en/docs.md#errors).
