The data interface<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

<\/path><\/svg><\/span>This feature is part of the SmartRace Champions Club<\/strong>. This is a big package with cool extensions, which you can conveniently add in the form of a monthly or annual subscription in the app and of course cancel at any time. Learn more<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Important<\/strong>: Using the data interface requires programming knowledge. To be able to process the data provided by the interface, you need a web server to receive the data. If you cannot program or do not know how to set up a web server, the data interface is probably not for you.<\/div>\n\n\n\n
Important<\/strong>: If you have difficulties receiving data from the data interface with your server, please take a closer look at the section on possible CORS problems<\/a>.<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is the data interface?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The data interface offers you the possibility to connect external services or scripts to SmartRace. For this purpose, SmartRace sends certain data to a configurable endpoint on request and you can process this data as you wish. The data is sent as a POST request in JSON format.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The data interface is endpoint-agnostic, i.e. it is not aimed at specific endpoints with a specific data format. What you do with the data is entirely up to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Activation and configuration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The data interface is not activated by default. To activate it, go to Settings in the main menu of SmartRace and open the Data Interface tab. Use the button at the top to enable the interface, but you must also enable the events that you want the data interface to consider. Which data are contained in the individual events, you will learn below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The different events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You can select on which events the data interface should send data. Each event type triggers different actions in SmartRace. Which actions these are, you can see in the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
