Android KWGT widget that displays the next upcoming Formula 1 race.
The API provides the widget with all the session data and start times needed by the widget.
It acts like a small proxy between the widget and the source F1 Calendar JSON formatting the JSON so that it can easily be consumed by the widget
The API has a single setting controlling which time zone to show the session times in. The setting can be changed using environment variables.
| Name | Value |
|---|---|
| TZ | TZ identifier taken from List of tz database time zones |
| BASE_URL | Base Url where the api is hosted |
