ChronoTrack forwarder (deprecated)

You can download the software for Windows and Linux from github.com

How does the forwarder work?

• Opens a port, on your local machine: 3000

• Listens on localhost IP: 127.0.0.1

• Waits for TCP/IP connections from ChronoTrack Simple Client software

• Processes passings/reads send by the ChronoTrack Simple Client software

• Uses RACEMAPs API token to forward data to RACEMAP

How to get a token?

API token The API token serves as a secure key that authenticates and directs your data to RACEMAP. Without a valid token, your submitted data will be rejected. Generate your API token in the settings of your RACEMAP account https://racemap.com/admin/account.

How to use the forwarder?

1. Get the timing API token for your RACEMAP account, contact [email protected].

2. Download the forwarder to the computer on which the ChronoTrack timing software is running.

3. Run the forwarder with the RACEMAP_API_TOKEN token as an environment variable.

4. Configure your ChronoTrack timing software to send data to the forwarder.

5. The forwarder will send your data to RACEMAP.
