Integration of app with School Api

Paul OShea

Aloha Blackbaud Community! I was hired by a company to integrate their language learning app with the Blackbaud "on"/sky api and am having some difficulties trying to test the endpoints. I have created a developer account and a mock app to test these endpoints, but I can't get past the authentication step. In the mock app I am redirecting the user to https://oauth2.sky.blackbaud.com/authorization?client_id=<clientID>&response_type=code&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A8000%2Fauth%2FoauthCallback.php upon login. When I enter my own personal account login info, I get denied with a "You don’t have access to any SKY API enabled Blackbaud products. Please contact your organization's administrator."


Is there a way I can get an admin role in order to test my mock app? Also, is there mock data available (mock teachers and mock users) to test the different endpoints my clients app needs?


Thank you for your time and any help you can give me!

Hi Paul,


You can request access to our shared SKY Developer Cohort sandbox environment, as outlined in step#2 here: https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/docs/applications/createapp#prerequisites. Just be sure to mention that you need this for Education Management.


If you're interested in becoming a Blackbaud Partner, which will get you access to Blackbaud Support (among other things), please fill out the form here: https://developer.blackbaud.com/skyapi/partners


Thanks,

Evan
