World and European Athletics are keen to explore the possibilities to award a label for vendors who submit their results in a comlpliant format, in timely manner.
The vendors would have to deliver the results in the approved format, before the competition for entries, and after the competition for results.
The format of this discussion will be a workshop, to exchange ideas.

To facilitate this, I’d be very happy to document the process of implementing the existing APIs for sending competitions and results, which we at OpenTrack went through last year.
We discussed holding monthly online workshops - perhaps this could be a good topic for one in June or July?

Api (to meet data operator system) is also (a long desired) wish for other “users/suppliers” to get live results information details, (like time-of-day for each performance etc). Example; i now record short videos of each field-attempt, but need to link it to an athlete and his/her individual attempt.
Hi Eddy,
At OpenTrack we make sure users can integrate and be notified in various ways - our own TV console is a web page which can receive timetables and notifications (latest throw, latest results up, start list / results for event X, latest scores). We have a few streaming companies who like to do their own graphics who have connected up to this. We’d be happy to share and standardise these protocols but it really needs at least one other “player” to do the same concurrently…
My other wish on these lines would be for the various statistical services to have a common query interface - so if we can’t find an athlete’s history in the WA database, we could query their home-country one.
This was our original vision in 2016/2017 and we have not made much progress on it, I fear.
