How the heck do these work? I've cobbled together the script below for my bot (using Limnoria) to return the F1 standings in a line. Right now it returns the first value perfectly, but I can't figure out the loop to get the other drivers at all.

The script

import supybot.utils as utils
from supybot.commands import *
import supybot.plugins as plugins
import supybot.ircutils as ircutils
import supybot.callbacks as callbacks
import supybot.ircmsgs as ircmsgs
import requests
import os
import collections
import json

try:
    from supybot.i18n import PluginInternationalization

    _ = PluginInternationalization("F1")
except ImportError:
    _ = lambda x: x


class F1(callbacks.Plugin):
    """Uses API to retrieve information"""

    threaded = True

    def f1(self, irc, msg, args):
        """
        F1 Standings
        """

        channel = msg.args[0]
        data = requests.get("https://ergast.com/api/f1/2022/driverStandings.json")
        data = json.loads(data.content)["MRData"]["StandingsTable"]["StandingsLists"][0]["DriverStandings"][0]

        name = data["Driver"]["code"]
        position = data["positionText"].zfill(2)
        points = data["points"]

        output = ", ".join(['\x0306\x02' + name + '\x0303' + " [" + position + ", "+ points + "]"])
        irc.reply(output)

    result = wrap(f1)

Class = F1

The output should be

VER [1, 125], LEC [2, 116], PER [3, 110], RUS [4, 84], SAI [5, 83], HAM [6, 50], NOR [7, 48], BOT [8, 40], OCO [9, 30], MAG [10, 15], RIC [11, 11], TSU [12, 11], ALO [13, 10], GAS [14, 6], VET [15, 5], ALB [16, 3], STR [17, 2], ZHO [18, 1], MSC [19, 0], HUL [20, 0], LAT [21, 0]

...but it only returns VER [1, 125]

I'm in that state where I can read the stuff, but when I put it together, it doesn't always work.

Final script

# this accepts @champ or @constructor with an optional year
# and also @gp with an optional race number for the current season
