Applications API Help

Alex Sims

We are looking into moving an indicator into our instance of Slate CRM to indicate if the student has completed their General Scholarship Application.

I have looked into the API and running into some issues.

1.) According to the API documentation, the max number of records that can be returned “per page” via the API is 1000. If we pull back ALL portfolio_name General Application applications via the API, there is the possibility that we will return more than 1000 records.

2.) We found that we could pass in a specific student's ID to the API and return the results for that specific student and considered the possibility of writing a script that would loop through all “current” students and hit the API with the specific student ID and see if results are returned for that student. However, the API returns a CSV for every student in this case. In a perfect world, I would love to be able to just make the API call and have it return a Y/N character indicating if the student had a submitted application or not.

Has anyone found a way to get around the per_page limit or know a way that I can just get an indicator via the API for a single student?

Thanks,
