For Agents

Query and update student enrollments, grades, course sections, and user profiles in Schoology. Supports bulk operations on schools, courses, and grading data across 53 endpoints.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Schoology REST API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Schoology REST API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Schoology REST API for, with concrete tasks.

★ AI Agent Integration for Student Data Sync

AI agents use the Schoology REST API through Jentic to synchronize student enrollment and grade data between the LMS and external systems such as SIS platforms and analytics dashboards. The agent searches for the appropriate enrollment or grading operation, loads the endpoint schema, and executes calls without manual OAuth configuration. This enables automated nightly syncs of student records across 53 endpoints covering users, courses, sections, and grades.

Retrieve all enrollments for section ID 12345 via GET /sections/{section_id}/enrollments and export the student roster with roles

Automated Student Enrollment Management

Programmatically enroll and withdraw students from course sections as term schedules change. The Schoology REST API supports creating enrollments with specific roles (student, teacher, admin) and managing withdrawal dates. Bulk enrollment via the POST /enrollments endpoint handles class roster changes at scale, supporting K-12 districts with thousands of section assignments per term.

Create a new enrollment for user ID 9876 in section ID 5432 with the student role using POST /enrollments

Gradebook Reporting and Analytics

Extract grade data from Schoology sections for academic reporting and early intervention alerts. The API exposes grading categories, grading periods, grading scales, and individual student grades per section. Agents can pull grades for an entire section via GET /sections/{section_id}/grades or retrieve a single student's grades across all courses via GET /users/{user_id}/grades, enabling district-wide academic performance dashboards.

Fetch all grade entries for section 7890 using GET /sections/{section_id}/grades and identify students with averages below 70%

School and Course Provisioning

Automate the creation of schools, courses, and sections at the start of each academic year. The API supports creating schools with building hierarchies, courses with metadata, and sections linked to specific courses. Section copying via POST /sections/copy allows replicating proven course configurations. This reduces manual setup for districts managing hundreds of courses across multiple buildings.

Create a new course titled 'AP Biology 2026' using POST /courses and then create two sections under it via POST /courses/{course_id}/sections

Key Endpoints

53 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for schoology rest api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Schoology OAuth 2.0 tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw consumer keys and secrets never enter the agent's context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'enroll a student in a course section') and Jentic returns matching Schoology operations with their input schemas, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing API documentation.

Time to first call

Direct Schoology integration: 3-5 days for OAuth setup, enrollment logic, and error handling. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Schoology REST API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Schoology REST API?

Schoology does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Schoology REST API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Schoology REST API use?

The Schoology REST API uses OAuth 2.0 with an implicit flow. Authorization requests go to https://api.schoology.com/v1/oauth/authorize. Through Jentic, OAuth tokens are stored in the encrypted MAXsystem vault, so agents receive scoped access without handling raw credentials.

Can I retrieve grades for all students in a section with the Schoology API?

Yes. Use GET /sections/{section_id}/grades to retrieve all gradebook entries for a specific section. You can also fetch grading categories via GET /sections/{section_id}/grading_categories and grading scales via GET /sections/{section_id}/grading_scales to contextualize the grade data.

How do I enroll a student in a Schoology course section through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'enroll student in schoology section' to find the POST /enrollments operation. The endpoint accepts a user ID, section ID, and role (student, teacher, or admin). Through Jentic, run: pip install jentic, then search for the operation, load its schema, and execute with your enrollment payload.

What are the rate limits for the Schoology REST API?

The Schoology API enforces rate limits per OAuth consumer. The spec does not document specific numerical limits, but requests exceeding the threshold return HTTP 429. Implement exponential backoff in your integration. Jentic's execution layer handles retry logic automatically for agents.

Can I bulk-import parent associations for student accounts?

Yes. The POST /users/import/associations/parents endpoint accepts batch payloads linking parent accounts to student accounts. Similarly, POST /users/import/associations/advisors handles advisor relationships. Both support multiple associations per request.

How do I search for courses and users in the Schoology API?

Use GET /search with query parameters to search across courses, sections, and users. The endpoint returns matching results filtered by the authenticated user's permissions. For more targeted queries, use GET /courses for course listings or GET /users with filter parameters.
