[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's any magic happening behind the scenes. Times getting loaded into different places (USA swimming, swimcloud, swimstandards) depends on the meet organizer sending a meet result file. A site like swimmingrank (now gone), for example, used web scraping to some degree, to extract posted meet results.[/quote]

But why would swimstandards have data almost immediately?  Meet mobile?

Swimcloud can take a few days and relies on individuals to send it to them.  USA Swimming gets it from the leagues.[/quote]

From what I can tell, there is no relationship between swimstandards at ACTIVE network, which owns Hytek/MeetMobile. The person(s) running the site ultimately have to rely on meet organizations sending them the meet file or downloading the files as soon as they're posted. I don't see any API documentation either for which people could just submit meet times in a seamless way. Maybe swimstandards is just just faster in loading the results.[/quote]
