API
Membership API
With the assistance of our membership platform provider, revSPORT, we have developed an Application Programming Interface (API) - this API will aim to integrate a Club’s third-party membership system with their revSPORT portal.
Practical applications of the API will be:
- A Club’s third-party system will query revSPORT to check or provide a member’s Australian Sailing number.
- When a member is entered into the Club’s third-party system, they can then be automatically added to their revSPORT portal – hence being an active club member and be covered by the Australian Sailing personal accident insurance.
- In cases where a SailPass is purchased in a third-party system, that information can be automatically transferred to revSPORT and a SailPass record will be created, once again ensuring the participant/member is covered by the personal accident insurance.
How does the API work?
What are the benefits
Successful application of an API between revSPORT and a club’s third-party system will reduce the administration required to maintain two systes, decrease duplicate records, ensure clean and current data is in both systems and accurate and instant record of membership numbers.
In order to access the API, you will need to follow the process outlined below, ensuring;
- Club approval from club CEO, GM, Commodore or President
- Secured the assistance of your 3rd party system developer

· To provide you with your personal accident insurance cover (only valid for financial members of affiliated clubs when registered in the database);
· It proves compliance with rule 46 (helming or crewing in a race)
· To send you relevant sailing information and updates;
