How do I access Blackboard API with my username and password?

693 views Asked by At

trying to develop an application that takes data from a user's respective Blackboard account and display that information in a different way. I have been reading the blackboard API documentation and I guess I have to go to an administrator with an App ID in order for me to obtain this kind of access. What type of information should I provide the admin being as I don't even know what an App ID is, let alone provide it. I'm just a student trying to make my life easier by consolidating information that's already available to me on blackboard. I appreciate any guidance on the development process.

The documentation you'll likely want to start with is at https://docs.blackboard.com/ - of particular note is the REST / Getting Started section. See also the swagger docs for the API, which detail the needed entitlements for each API call.
