API
revSPORT currently has two APIs available to assist clubs in the running of their club and events
More information and expression of interest are below
Member Endpoint API (Inbound and Outbound) |
|
The Member Endpoint 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.
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 systems, decrease duplicate records, ensure clean and current data is in both systems and accurate and instant record of membership numbers.
How does the API work?
The below graphic outlines how the Member Endpoint API works
Member Finder endpoint API (Outbound) |
|
The Member Finder Endpoint API allows a third party system to query the Australian Sailing Number checker to vertify the validity of an Australian Sailing Number. |
The Process
In order to access either 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
revSPORT will also carry out a vetting process with any new third party system.

The main reason for AS collecting personal information is so that we can carry out our functions, including to provide products and services and enable participation in activities and events of AS, its affiliates and clubs. Other reasons for collecting personal information include:
· 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;
· To communicate directly with you when necessary
· Statistical analysis- ie gender, Date of Birth and postcode is important data that helps us identify trends and understand the dynamics of the sport.

There are both inbound and outbound APIs available.
For the most effective implementation, two way synchronisation will occur and will be configured by your 3rd party system.
