This API specification aims to provide a standardized way for ScoreExpress to retrieve information about competitions that are available in other information systems, e.g. a federation CMS.
In order to allow this information exchange, the source system needs to implement two web services:
- The first is to provide a list of events (with includes event disciplines), such that the ScoreExpress user can pick the event to import information from.
- the second to provide the data from a selected eventDiscipline.
The specific details of each of these services is described in the next sections.
Below, we describe the general aspect about these web services.
Technical set up
The web services will expect the data in the response in JSON format. The description of the services in the next sections provides a JSON schema and examples of response data.
Configuration
The configuration of the web services is linked to the user profile in ScoreExpress (currently only editable by admin).
The configuration consists of following settings:
- Full URL of both services
- Authentication method ad credentials
Authentication
ScoreExpress currently supports two authentication methods for the CMS web services:
- Basic: based on the combination of a username and password.
- Bearer token: based on a single token.
Should you be unable to provide access based on these options, contact us to discuss.
