2. Configure the API key (live data)

What is the API key for?

The API key is your identifier to access the EWC championship's real-time data feed. It is different from the licence key: the licence unlocks the application, the API key connects the application to live race data.

🔑 Licence — Unlocks access to the OHP Apex application. Format: OHAPEX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Provided by OH Performance.

🌐 API Key — Gives access to live race data (standings, lap times, positions). Provided by the organiser or OH Performance.

  1. Open Settings by clicking the ⚙️ icon at the top right of the dashboard.
  2. Locate the "EWC API KEY" section.
