About the School Directory
The school directory API is a powerful tool that allows developers to fetch detailed information about individuals and groups within the school. By leveraging this API, you can programmatically access data such as people profiles, groups and their members or data about the school. This can be particularly useful for keeping your data in sync as well as enhancing applications with directory information. In contrast to using OpenID Connect only, the school directory API provides a way to fetch people and users even before they have logged in.
Key features of the IDM API include:
- People Data Retrieval: Fetch detailed information about individuals within the school's directory.
- User Data Retrieval: Fetch detailed information about users than can log into your application with OpenID Connect.
- Group Data Retrieval: Obtain details about groups, e.g. group memberships.
- Real-time Updates: Ensure your applications always have the latest directory information with webhooks.
By utilizing the IDM API, you can streamline your workflows, improve data accuracy, and enhance the overall functionality of your applications.
