Introduction

What developers and timers can and cannot do with ALLEYKAT today.

ALLEYKAT is a mobile-and-web product, not a developer platform — but there are real integration points for athletes and timers today, and more on the roadmap. This section documents what you can do right now.

Available today

  • Garmin — connect a Garmin account so activities auto-route into matching races.
  • GPX result recovery — submit a .gpx track to be replayed through a race course.
  • Data export — download participants and results as CSV from the Dashboard.
  • Strava — connect Strava to push a run from your ALLEYKAT run history out to your Strava feed, and to pick a Strava activity to submit as a race result.

On the roadmap

API licensing for year-round race directors. If you put on races consistently throughout the year, you'll be able to license the ALLEYKAT API — live GPS tracking, waypoint validation, results, and spectating — and build it into your own site, app, or race-day setup.

A public REST API and webhooks for third-party timing systems, plus additional activity sources for result matching (Coros, Apple Health). The result-matching engine is already source-agnostic, so a new source plugs in with just an ingest adapter. Strava result submission is a manual picker today — there is no automatic Strava sync engine like Garmin's, so a Strava activity becomes a result only when you choose it. There is no public API today and no dated timeline for one; if you're building something that needs one, tell us and it helps us prioritise.

Note
Running races all year and interested in licensing the API, building something with ALLEYKAT data, or want early API access? Get in touch.
