REST API Access for students

How can I as a Schoology student get access to a REST API linked to my student account, is it possible to generate a customer key from my student account to complete the OAuth Authentication as our school uses to log in with google and get access to my assignments and courses from the API

Thank you so much!

Hi @hadibeydoun8

The permission to have access to the REST API linked to your account is now managed by system admins who determine which users are able to generate an API key.

You would need to reach out to your district's Schoology Admin and have him provide you access to assignments and courses from the API.

Is it possible to mark attendance using the Powerschool API? I am developing a test app that can do so and am wondering if it is possible. I just need to know if the endpoint exists. I have spoken to my district's IT department manager, and he says he has security concerns, which I plan to fix after I will get the keys and access tokens needed to access the API. Is it also possible to retrieve a students id by querying their email?
