Xplor Recreation API
PerfectMind, the engine behind Xplor Recreation, documents a two-way REST API over members, registrations, bookings, and finances. Access starts at a sales inquiry form, docs live in an S3 PDF and a login-gated community, and auth is custom headers rather than OAuth.
Frequently asked questions
Xplor Recreation scores D on the API Report Card. PerfectMind, the engine behind Xplor Recreation, documents a two-way REST API over members, registrations, bookings, and finances. Access starts at a sales inquiry form, docs live in an S3 PDF and a login-gated community, and auth is custom headers rather than OAuth.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.
Xplor Recreation is a cloud-based, all-in-one parks and recreation management platform that runs the operational back office for municipal parks & recreation departments, community centers, leisure/aquatics centers, YMCAs and JCCs, summer camps, martial arts and fitness studios, swim schools, and member associations.
Vertical: misc, parks & recreation, community center, and association membership management software (closest Supergood neighbors are Government/Public Sector for the municipal customers and POS/Hospitality for the front-counter flows). A municipal parks & rec department uses Xplor Recreation to publish a seasonal catalog of swim lessons, learn-to-skate, summer day camps, adult sports leagues, and facility rentals (ball diamonds, ice sheets, picnic shelters, meeting rooms, campsites).
Xplor Recreation publicly cites 5,000+ organizations in 21 countries and 500,000+ end users on the PerfectMind platform; an Enlyft estimate puts its share of the association membership management subcategory at ~0.56%.
Yes, for any organization that runs on it, Xplor Recreation is the system of record for resident/member identity (names, addresses, emergency contacts, minors' guardian info, medical and immunization forms), household relationships, full program registration and enrollment history, facility and resource bookings (fields, courts, ice, campgrounds, meeting rooms, picnic shelters), signed waivers and consent, recurring membership and dues data, payment methods on file, payment transactions and refunds (processed via Xplor Pay / Debit Success), instructor and staff pay records, attendance, point-of-sale receipts, marketing email lists, and accounting/GL exports.
PerfectMind was founded in Burnaby, British Columbia in 2002 (~24 years old) and built originally as a martial-arts and member-club CRM before expanding into municipal parks & rec via large Canadian city wins.
API access is gated behind a 'Request API Information' sales form rather than self-serve developer signup. Customer community portal (community.perfectmind.com) where REST API knowledge-base articles live returns HTTP 403 to non-customer traffic, making evaluation impossible without an existing license. Full sourced list under Sources below.
Common alternatives include ACTIVE Network (ACTIVENet), RecTrac (Vermont Systems), CivicRec (CivicPlus), Amilia (SmartRec), Daxko Operations, MyRec.com. Graded alternatives appear under "More from the report card" below.
Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Xplor Recreation API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Xplor Recreation data. See the Xplor Recreation integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/xplor-recreation-api.
