in Education Management APIs

How does everyone pull building and room data? There is an API to pull Dorm data and there are several APIs to pull academic data which includes the building and room data for those classes scheduled. However, there doesn't appear to be an API that can pull all the data that's been configured under School Information > Buildings.

I would like to see a full Building API which would include the room and their details.

    There is an endpoint at the very end of the list named Venues Buildings. It returns all buildings and rooms and lists the types of things they are used for. It is currently tied to the athletic roles, but there is work in the backlog to update that.

    The plan is to rename the endpoint (but not change the url) to Core Buildings, and add all faculty roles and some other admin roles. This is something we can do (without a breaking change) to make it easier to find and use. So, feel free to comment on what you'd like to see here if you have suggestions.

    Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I did pull this data and the only thing I see missing from the API itself is the “notes” section within the room configuration. I believe this is actually called “instructions" if my memory serves me right. It would be great if it could match the UI label.
