Getting Access

How to get access to the IMG Arena Table Tennis API

To make any request to the IMG Arena API, you must first apply for an account and our Support and Integrations team will send you an OAuth Bearer 2.0 token. This token represents your application and enables you to authenticate requests.

Since these tokens do not expire unless regenerated, we suggest creating environment variables or using a secure password manager once you've received your credentials.

Please note: If you misplace or forget the tokens, you will need to regenerate them, which creates new credentials and invalidates the old ones. This means that you will have to update any integrations that you may have set up with your prior credentials.

Once you have access, you’re ready to get started using the IMG Arena Table Tennis API! We have quick start guides for many of our endpoints, useful tools and libraries and sample code that describe how to build solutions around different use cases.

Polling limits

IMG Arena monitor the incoming traffic from our customers and strive to ensure that traffic is controlled, in-keeping with our guidelines and not unnecessarily excessive. We would suggest a polling rate of 5 requests per second, whilst we strive towards implementing rate limiting.
