Breaking Change Planned, New Endpoints, and More for School API

Bryna Gleich

Check out the changelog for SKY API for schools.


Breaking change planned for multiple endpoints

In a future release, nick_name will be replaced by preferred_name. Until then, both properties will work.

To prepare for this change, update your apps to use the new property for preferred names instead of nicknames.

This affects multiple endpoints.

New in beta testing

GET Users Emergency Contact Changes Since Query date (BETA)

This endpoint is currently in beta testing.

Let us know your feedback by commenting in the school section of the developer user community.

New endpoint

GET Core Sessions

This endpoint returns the session IDs required for other Higher Education endpoints.

Changed

POST Users Enrollment Create

For Higher Education, a new property session_id is now required.

GET Users Emergency Contacts by User

It now includes a property for call_dialer to indicate whether a user should only be contacted in an emergency.
