Section block name

I try to generate a schedule for all student for a day. I use “Academic master schedule” to get the timings for set of blocks and correlate the block assigned to the section to get the timing for all the section the student enrolled in. I used “Academics cycles by section” to know the block identifier for a section. But know I don't get response or response without block attribute when I use “Academics cycles by section” endpoint. Is this any issue with blackbaud side?. Is there any other way to get the block identifier of a section?

    I believe Schedules Meetings might be a better choice. It returns all meetings for all classes for a date range.

  • @Stephen Boyle Thanks for the reply, The endpoint is in BETA, can I use it in production environment?

  • @Sara Api Earlier I got block identifier of a section using “Academic cycles by section” endpoint? Now I can't. Is this the change from blackbaud side? or some other issue?

    It's ‘beta’ because it's less than 90 days since it was added. That's to allow for changes needed when folks actually start using it and give feedback. I think this one is on the edge of the time limit anyway and will lose the beta label soon.

    You should be safe to rely on it not to change at this point.

    Academic cycles by section returns block_name, and they are unique.
