Cohort Sandbox Attendance List Data

Greg Raether

Hello,

We are new developing with the Sky API's for school data. Recently support was kind enough to hook our application to the Cohort Sandbox. We are using the API's for retrieving data only and are successfully getting data from all the API's except for Attendance List. We have tried several different required parameters for level, day and offering type. Does anyone know if there is data available in that API call and if so what parameters might work to get data back? Thank you for your help!

Hi Greg,


First you'll need the appropriate levels (https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/docs/services/school/operations/v1levelsget), offering types (https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/docs/services/school/operations/v1offeringtypesget), and excuse types (https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/docs/services/school/operations/V1TypesExcusedtypesGet), if applicable.


My hunch is that you simply need to be passing a day value (YYYY-MM-DD) where attendance was actually set. This list in in the SKY Developer Cohort Sandbox can help show you that: https://32158.myschooldemo.com/app/academics#day-attendancelists. For instance November 2020 looks like a good bet:




You can also set attendance yourself and check that. This may be a helpful reference: https://webfiles.blackbaud.com/files/support/helpfiles/education/k12/full-help/content/sis-attendance.html. Good luck!

Thank you very much for your reply and help! This is exactly what I needed to figure out if/where the data is at. I was wondering if needed to pass in the right date but didn't know what date would be. I'm now logged into the Sandbox environment and can see the data. Again, much appreciated and perfect answer!!
