POST user

first_name: 'student_a',
last_name: 'student_a',
middle_name: 'middle_student_a',
email: 'student@example.com',
nick_name: 'student_nick'
}

Has anyone tried creating a student user account using the SKY API?

The above fields look to be the only ones that are supported in the documentation.


This seems to be quite limiting when we're trying to call the API to create a Student (ie. missing: birth_date, gender, custom fields, username)

Likewise for parents (ie. missing: phone_number, address)


I might be blind, can someone confirm that there's no API to update those fields I mentioned?

The POST Single User endpoint (https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/docs/services/school/operations/V1UsersPost) has a few more fields than you listed, but not DOB. PATCH Single User allows you to update the same fields.


I don't see an endpoint that will add DOB. There must be a way to do it, though. We use a third-party service for Admission, and they can push incoming students and parents to Core.
