RunSignup AI for Vibe Coding
As a tech-driven platform, we believe in empowering our customers through flexibility and innovation. Our API makes it easier to extend and customize the RunSignup experience—whether you’re building your own dashboards, syncing with third-party tools, or creating custom workflows for your event.
RunSignup AI for Vibe Coding is built on:
Open API
OpenAPI is a standard way for the new generation of AI systems and tools to directly interface with the RunSignup platform. By publishing out API specification using OpenAPI, we unlock several benefits. Our implementation is AI and code generation friendly, allowing for rapid prototyping, better documentation, and an ever-evolving future-proof platform.
OAuth2
OAuth2 is an industry standard protocol for authorization, used by major platforms like Google and Microsoft. It allows for secure delegated access and safer integrations to enable app development using the data available on your race dashboard. Access works just as it does for your RunSignup dashboard.
How to Use RunSignup AI for Vibe Coding
RunSignup AI for Vibe Coding allows customers to create custom reports, dashboards, and applications with natural language via tools like V0.dev. To get started, the RunSignup AI Application Library has a range of applications that customers and RunSignup employees have previously built. You can fork an existing application to modify it and make it into your own. Then, when you have a better understanding of how vibe coding works, you can get really creative and build your own fully custom solutions.
A few applications to get you started…
Why OpenAPI Matters
- AI & Code Generation Friendly: Tools like v0.dev, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI’s GPT models, and others can directly consume the OpenAPI spec. This allows AI-based systems to understand our endpoints, request parameters, and response formats, enabling them to auto-generate code, UI components, and even entire workflows with minimal manual coding.
- Rapid Prototyping: Developers using modern low-code and no-code platforms that support OpenAPI can instantly generate clients, test endpoints, and build integrations.
- Better Documentation: The OpenAPI spec serves as a single source of truth that can automatically generate interactive documentation, making it easier for humans and machines alike to explore our API.
- Future-Proofing: As new AI coding assistants continue to evolve, OpenAPI allows our platform to stay compatible with the latest developments.
Why OAuth2 Matters
- Secure Delegated Access: Applications can request granular permissions to access specific parts of a user’s RunSignup data, without requiring users to share account credentials.
- Safer Integrations: OAuth2 allows us to define scopes, expiration, and revocation policies, ensuring that 3rd-party integrations remain secure.
- Developer-Friendly: Modern frameworks and SDKs all have robust support for OAuth2, simplifying the process of authenticating with our API.
- Enabling Partner Ecosystems: Our partners can now build richer integrations while respecting user privacy and security.
