Public Endpoints?

Sorry if this is a newbie question. I'm working with:

To see if it's possible to connect to our School API and display publicly available information (Rosters, Photos, Staff and Faculty Directory, Athletic Scores, Athletic Schedules etc.)

I have it connecting fine as long as I use my Auth which has the roles needed to return that information.

What we need to do is have that information available as a public endpoint without having to log in etc. Just using the api with no-auth.

How do I define (is this possible?) or flag data we deem to be useable in this way on our end?

    It is not possible to use SKY API endpoints without authentication. All data is protected.

    Hey @Shane Brooks, unfortunately all of the endpoints require an OAuth authentication to access the data. The only option I can think of to accomplish what you're describing is to build out something like a data warehouse to store all of the API data from Blackbaud and then use that to serve up the data to your website.
