This how-to guide will explain how you can give access to your school data to a third party, securely, using our API.
Third party providers are setup centrally (AA > System > Providers). Schools need to authorise access to their data. In most cases full access is not necessary and so the following steps (developed Aug 2019) are in place to control third party access to school data.
If you would like to automate the connection between Pupil Asset MIS and a third party application being used by your school, that isn’t on this list, we recommend contacting our partner Wonde who specialise in MIS data integration. Wonde are used by over 14,000 schools across the UK. You can contact them using their email address: hello@wonde.com .
(N.B. to enable access to all applications within Wonde and GroupCall, all must be ticked)
