README

Welcome to the unofficial World Cube Association (WCA) Public API documentation! Here, you'll find all the information you need to integrate this API seamlessly into your projects. Access competition data, results, competitor profiles, rankings, and more.

Note: This API is served through static JSON files on GitHub, which means the structure of the endpoints has limitations. The reason for doing so is:

• The data doesn't change that much, max once a day
• Static file-based API is (or should be) very fast
• I don't want to pay for any hosting because it could get very expensive, very fast

The API is updated once a day so rankings and results are not real-time.

This information is based on competition results owned and maintained by the World Cube Association, published at https://www.worldcubeassociation.org/export/results as of December 26, 2024.

I'm in no way affiliated with or part of the official WCA software team.

Getting started

The full documentation and specs are available at https://wca-rest-api.robiningelbrecht.be/

Feedback

For any feature requests, help posts, or bug reports, please open an issue in the issue queue. I'll be happy to help you out.

Entity relations

To give you an idea about the relations between the entities and how you can query the API, I created the following schema:

Local development

If you'd like to help with the development of this project, or you just want to run it locally, run the following commands:

# Clone repo
> git clone [e-mail]:robiningelbrecht/wca-rest-api.git
# Setup .env file
> cp .env.dist .env
# Build docker containers
> docker-compose up -d --build
# Install dependencies
> docker-compose run --rm php-cli composer install
# Build all the static API files.
> docker-compose run --rm php-cli bin/build-new-api.sh "continent,country,event,competition,championship,person,rank,result,version"

This should result in following CLI output:
