Timing integrations

Enable Wiclax access and send the credentials to your timekeeper

Enable Wiclax access for an edition, copy the user and the API key, and send them to your timekeeper so they can import your participants into Wiclax.

Wiclax is timing software. Once access is enabled, your timekeeper imports the participants of each race straight into Wiclax, using two credentials that belong to your edition.

Nothing flows back the other way: results stay in Wiclax.

Open the Wiclax page

  1. In your edition menu, open Miles Services, then Integrations.

  2. On the Partners page, click the Wiclax row.

Enable access and copy the credentials

  1. Turn on the switch to the right of Wiclax Credentials. The edition's credentials appear.

  2. Click Copy next to User (User), then Copy next to API Key (Authorization), and send both values to your timekeeper.

  3. Under Who assigns the bibs?, keep Miles Republic assigns the bibs if you assign bibs in Miles Republic, including at bib pickup. Choose Wiclax assigns the bibs if your timekeeper numbers them in Wiclax. Your choice is saved as soon as you click.

  2. They select a race in the list.

  3. With Associer les données (map the data), they map the Licence / PPS field onto Wiclax's licence column: this field carries each participant's licence number or PPS. Then they click Importer (import).

Your timekeeper sees the message Unknown user

Access is turned off, or the credentials were copied wrongly. Check that the switch to the right of Wiclax Credentials is on, then have the user and the API key copied again with the Copy buttons, with no added space or word.

Each edition has its own credentials: those of a previous edition do not work.

The message Unable to load Wiclax credentials appears

Your account does not manage this edition. Ask the edition's organizer to give you access, then reload the page.
