16TMS is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing user management system. Instead of requiring users to create separate accounts, you map your existing users to 16TMS using your own unique identifiers.

​
Workflow

  1. User Registration: The user registers or signs up on your platform (your backend).
  2. Generate & Store Identifier: Your backend generates a unique externalId for this user and saves it in your database.
  3. Sync with 16TMS: Your backend immediately calls the 16TMS API using this externalId along with other user details (like username, avatar).
    • This is done via the Register a new user endpoint.
    • You must include your X-API-KEY in the header for authentication.
  4. Subsequent Access: For all future API requests related to this user (e.g., joining tournaments, fetching matches), you will use:
    • Your API Key (for authorization).
    • The External ID (the unique token/ID you generated) to identify the specific user.
