Public API Access for Race Results Data

Details: Race directors, partners, and third-party platforms would benefit from the ability to programmatically access race results via a secure, documented API. Currently, there is no publicly available method to retrieve results data outside of manual downloads or scraping.

Feature Request:

Provide a RESTful API endpoint to access race results data, including:

Participant name, bib, time, age group, gender, placement, etc.

Support for querying by event ID, distance, date range, etc.

Include authentication controls (e.g., API key access scoped to specific events)

Enable real-time or near-real-time access to support integrations with timing systems, sponsor sites, media partners, and data dashboards

This would unlock more advanced analytics, live result syncing, and extended visibility for races across external platforms.

I would be interested in beta testing this new API if this feature is worked on.

When considering API authentication, do you envision access to the API to be limited to Race Directors (by event/organization) and to integration partners (e.g. timing apps), or to others as well?

Something like this is on our roadmap and I want to make sure we’re considering the specifics of what you would find most useful and valuable. Thanks!

I need it as a race director who doesn’t have integration partners. Or another way to say it is, I am the integration partner. ☺️

This is something I’m interested in as well. I’ve built out a race tracking site that aggregates timing data from various sources, but is built to be more social and gamified vs an Athlinks-type page. I would go so far as to program my queries based on any throttling requirements you build and provide source IP for security purposes above and beyond the typical API auth/keys. I’d also be happy to help beta test as well.
