Introduction

Overview

Video plays a vital role in the dynamic world of youth sports, and SportsRecruits recognizes the need to simplify and consolidate video workflows within the recruiting process.

With the SportsRecruits API, athletes can seamlessly connect their recruiting profile to combine the best video tools with the premier recruiting platform.

The integration offers unparalleled convenience as videos can be directly added to athletes’ SportsRecruits libraries, eliminating the need for the time-consuming download and re-upload process.

As a video partner, you control any synced content with options to maintain access for individual athletes or remove videos from SportsRecruits entirely.

SportsRecruits uses HMAC (hash-based message authentication code) authentication when communicating with video integration partners to ensure that requests are not tampered with and originate from an authorized source.
