examples
in any looping example, use a suitable delay to avoid spamming the site with requests
example_latest_timeline.py : uses a simple infinite loop (async would be better in a full application) to skim the top of the timeline for live updates. it will not display the same update twice
example_live_timeline.py : another older way to show a live timeline update, less compatible with async routines due to the checking of the last item
example_situation.py : display the provided time gaps (if any) in a readable format
example_timeline_all.py : display the entire timeline of a race (at this moment) - in reverse so that the latest update is at the bottom for console convenience
