Reep Register Partners
Support the open Register or solve a private identity problem.
Reep is the open identity layer for football data: stable Reep IDs mapped to the provider IDs analysts, clubs, platforms and data teams already use. Sponsors sustain the public infrastructure, data partners make their IDs interoperable, and organisations can commission private work with Loom.
Provider value
Where Reep helps a data provider.
Interoperability
Make your IDs easier to adopt.
Customers already have Opta, Wyscout, Transfermarkt, StatsBomb, SportMonks, FBref, internal IDs, or all of them. Reep lets your IDs resolve into that same identity layer instead of becoming another mapping table they have to maintain.
Quality loop
Get external identity QA on your own data.
Reep compares provider bridges against independent evidence and public release checks. Partner packets can surface suspected duplicates, stale IDs, date-of-birth conflicts, role confusion, and bridge gaps for your own review.
Coverage intelligence
See the gaps that matter commercially.
Coverage comparisons are useful when they are tied to countries, competitions, entity types, and customer demand. Reep can turn the wider register view into a focused roadmap input instead of a flat list of missing names.
Your data
What you share stays yours.
Open bridges are distribution, not leakage. A data partnership requires explicit permission to publish contributed identifiers. Consultancy stays separate: customer-controlled sources, private deliverables and Loom work never buy influence over the public Register.
We never republish your content.
We don’t take scouting data, ratings or evaluated positions, and we don’t want to see them. We need only the identifying facts that resolve an entity: names, nationalities, participation and basic match details.
What only you cover stays private.
For entities no one else carries, there’s nothing to cross-reference, so by default we hold them privately. Your unique catalogue isn’t open-sourced. If you’d rather be the recognised open source-of-record, that’s your choice to make.
The corrections come back to you.
Suspected duplicates, stale IDs, date-of-birth conflicts, role confusion and coverage gaps we spot in your data are handed back as private correction packets. They are yours to keep, free of charge.
The public surface is only the mapping.
What’s public is ID-to-ID bridges plus facts corroborated across independent sources. Raw mirrors, review evidence and provider-specific payloads never leave the private layer.
