iracing-sdk-js
(Another) Unofficial iRacing SDK implementation for Node.js.
iracing-sdk-js provides data access (live telemetry and session info) and most of the available commands. You can find some usage examples in the examples directory, and there are some data samples too.
Installing
Make sure you are running Node.js v21 x64 or later. (Currently requires Node 21 for latest node test runner implementation, but should work with Node 20 too.)
npm install --save iracing-sdk-js
yarn add iracing-sdk-js --save
