Request: Public API

[jonmah (Jon Maher)]

API would be a great addition!

[randycoxclemson (Randy Cox)]

If they want to grow, they would allow course API downloads and people would create incredible new ways to see the data (your +/- to par based on hole distance; you vs world in rank order of how difficult each hole is–-which would need all that data about each hole’s global average; mapping of course +/- to par color coded by which tee and which basket is used; etc, etc). An isolationist philosophy of hoarding all the info and never doing anything with it because of lack of programmers is never a good idea.

Use case for API - filtering my list of played courses by what state they are in. Currently I would have to export my scorecard history then run a script to search for each course name on Udisc & scrape the page to access data about the course eg location.

@shandrow download is possible. I have a python script that will grab these each week on a timer and import into our scoring db if you are interested.

Round Ratings as Part of Leage Events CSV

@jenn are there any plans to add UDisc Round Ratings to the export from an event? Our league starts in March and we’d love to migrate to using these vs relative_score, but scraping from the page each week is a non-started for our scorekeeper - too time consuming and too error prone. Could that column be added to the export available today? https://udisc.com/events/{event_slug}/leaderboard/export

i will literally stand up a public java api with ratelimiting, apikeys, RLS, loadbalancing, containerized, least privileges, before most people start the 2026 season, pro bono
just give read only access and we’re good

i want an api so i can create a dashboard of my data displayed with a magic mirror

i second the notion about this not being udisc’s #1 priority as bizarre

edit: yes this is the only reason i got on the forums

This has gone from a nice to have feature to what I would consider a must have. My local league has a very specific way of figuring out how players team up for doubles league every week, and it’s a slow methodical process that could be drastically sped up with REST support.

We already use UDisc, we don’t intend to stop using UDisc, we just want to be able to create league specific applications that leverage you discs features to allow us to manage and run better local leagues.

now that AI is here more and more people are able to create their own little applications that leverage this kind of data, and if UDisc get ahead of this, I think it would lock in as a requirement to have to play in any league in the future.

But right now, in order for me to build anything at all that would allow my league to run their team pairing for doubles faster. I have to build a much more complicated application and it isn’t worth it. The result is my league is forced to use antiquated methods and slower system systems that reduces the amount of disc golf that we get to play on any given day.

For the love of God, just make a rest API, please

[shandrow]

Yes, I would be interested in that!

Is there any update to this? We have someone going over course leaderboards for our yearly king of the course challenge with our group. API access would let us pull this info much easier.
