Greetings, I am new to using API's. I was wondering if there is an API that I can use to scan a student ID badge and the information would then check a student as present for attendance. Can you point me in the correct direction? Thanks I appreciate the help.
I write all of the programs that access the SKY API in Visual Basic. I use the SKYLib•Net library from Protege Solutions. It handles a lot of the ugly details so that I can focus on the data. You can download the library and an example program at the Protege website. https://protege.com.au/skylib The download is free and…
Many of the programs I wrote that use the Blackbaud School API also use APIs for other services. That allows me to extract information from the SIS and use it to update other systems or files. One of the most useful projects is the People Lists spreadsheet. We’re a Google school so we have many files shared to employees.…
I admittedly am a novice in the subject, and lean on different integrations and outside sources to access API data, sooooo… What would you recommend to get started, and what you think may have the biggest impact for that initial effort?

Hi all, I was wondering if an endpoint exists to retrieve any links or downloads attached to an assignment? I was looking at the ON API docs which does return that information as a part of the assignment endpoint, but it looks like the SKY api doesn't. Thanks!

When a dorm that has residents assigned to it for one academic year and a school level is switched to a different school level the following academic year, the UI and API start to…
Hi all, Does anyone know if there's a way to export a student's grade history, broken down by course? Example: Student Johnny Doe English 1, Completed May 2024, Grade 95% Algebra 1, Completed May 2025, Grade 94% I see that advanced lists support breaking down cumulative grades by course, but it seems to be by term. I'm…
The "Core Grade Levels" API (https://developer.sky.blackbaud.com/api#api=school&operation=v1gradelevelsget) returns a value for "promote_to_code" but doesn't indicate what the next grade would be when a student is promoted normally (if any). Because of this I either need to create a custom list to pull that info from the…
