URL(s):

  • /api/v5/staff/{StaffID}/gradebooks
    • StaffID (required) – the Aeries District Staff ID (numeric)
  • /api/v5/schools/{SchoolCode}/sections/{SectionNumber}/gradebooks
    • SchoolCode (required) – the Aeries School Code. This is normally 1-999.
    • SectionNumber (required) – the school-based Aeries section number.
  • /api/v5/gradebooks/{GradebookNumber}
    • GradebookNumber (required) – the specific Aeries Gradebook Number
    • Note: This can be used if you already have pulled a list of gradebooks for a teacher or section and want to refresh a specific gradebook's information. Returns a single “Gradebook” object rather than an “ArrayOfGradebook”.

Notes:

  • A method of retrieving ALL gradebooks for a school or district is not possible. It is recommended that this API be called on the fly when needed by your system to generate a user interface.
  • Documentation on the Aeries Gradebook can be found here

Assignment Information

Security Area:

  • "Gradebook Data"

URL(s):

  • /api/v5/gradebooks/{GradebookNumber}/assignments/{AssignmentNumber}
    • GradebookNumber (required) – the specific Aeries Gradebook Number
    • AssignmentNumber (optional) – the specific Assignment Number
  • /api/v5/gradebooks/Assignments/{UniqueID}
    • UniqueID (required) – The District-wide Unique ID for this assignment. The teacher has the ability to change the Assignment Number, but the Unique ID for an assignment will never change. Once the Unique ID is known, it can be used to guarantee that future API calls refer to the same assignment.

Notes:

  • A method of retrieving assignments for ALL gradebooks for a school or district is not possible. It is recommended that this API be called on the fly when needed by your system to generate a user interface.
  • If AssignmentNumber or UniqueID is passed, a single “Assignment” object is returned rather than an “ArrayOfAssignment”.

Updating Assignment Information

URL(s):

  • PUT /api/v5/gradebooks/{GradebookNumber}/assignments/{AssignmentNumber}
    • GradebookNumber (required) – the specific Aeries Gradebook Number
    • AssignmentNumber (required) – the specific Assignment Number
  • PUT /api/v5/gradebooks/Assignments/{UniqueID}
    • UniqueID (required) – The District-wide Unique ID for this assignment. The teacher has the ability to change the Assignment Number, but the Unique ID for an assignment will never change. Once the Unique ID is known, it can be used to guarantee that future API calls refer to the same assignment.

Notes:

  • This end point returns an “ArrayOfAssignment” container of “Assignment” objects similar to the regular Assignment Information end point; however, it contains only those records which were updated by the current Update request. The result is an array because the Assignment with the same Assignment Number will be updated in all Linked Gradebooks if the UpdateLinkedGradebooksToo option is set to “true” or omitted (defaults to “true”). Linked Gradebooks are all a teacher’s Gradebooks in the same school code with equal, nonzero values for “LinkedGroup” (see the Gradebook Information end point)

POST Payload Object:

“AssignmentUpdate” Object Definition:

RubricAssignmentBoolean(true or false. DEFAULT false if omitted) Indicates whether this assignment uses Rubric grading. Note: If this is true, then both NumberCorrectPossible and PointsPossible will automatically be set to 0 regardless of what values are passed. This option only works if the overall Gradebook is set to allow Rubric grading. If not, this field will automatically be interpreted as “false”
ExternalIDStringAn identifier for this assignment in an external system such as a Learning Management System (LMS).
UpdateLinkedGradebooksTooBoolean(true or false. DEFAULT true if omitted) Option to update the same assignment in any of the teacher’s Linked Gradebooks.

Notes:

  • A method of retrieving final marks for ALL gradebooks for a school or district is not possible. It is recommended that this API be called on the fly when needed by your system.
  • In Aeries, the "Low Value" is used as a threshold. The "High Value" is informational only, except that if the High Value is 0 (zero), then the Final Mark is not being used.

      • Note: This can be used if you already have pulled a list of students for a gradebook and want to refresh a specific student's information. Returns a single “Student” object rather than an “ArrayOfStudent”.

Notes:

  • A method of retrieving students for ALL gradebooks for a school or district is not possible. It is recommended that this API be called on the fly when needed by your system.

Assignment Scores

Security Area:

  • "Gradebook Scores"

URL(s):

  • /api/v5/gradebooks/{GradebookNumber}/assignments/{AssignmentNumber}/scores/{StudentID}
    • GradebookNumber (required) – the specific Aeries Gradebook Number
    • AssignmentNumber (required) – the specific Assignment Number
    • StudentID (optional) – the Aeries Student District Permanent ID Number
      • Note: This can be used if you already have pulled a list of scores for an assignment and want to refresh a specific student’s information. Returns a single “AssignmentScore” object rather than an “ArrayOfAssignmentScore”.
  • /api/v5/gradebooks/assignments/{UniqueID}/scores/{StudentID}
    • UniqueID (required) – The District-wide Unique ID for this assignment. The teacher has the ability to change the Assignment Number, but the Unique ID for an assignment will never change. Once the Unique ID is known, it can be used to guarantee that future API calls refer to the same assignment.
    • StudentID (optional) – the Aeries Student District Permanent ID Number
      • Note: This can be used if you already have pulled a list of scores for an assignment and want to refresh a specific student’s information. Returns a single “AssignmentScore” object rather than an “ArrayOfAssignmentScore”.

Notes:

  • A method of retrieving scores for ALL assignments in a gradebook is not possible. It is recommended that this API be called on the fly when needed by your system.
  • For Standards-based grades, the list of standards and the "Academic Benchmark Id" is available through the Assignment Information API.
  • Also for Standards-based grades, the Number Correct and Points Earned fields will always match.
  • For Rubric-based grades, the Number Correct Possible and Points Possible fields will be 0 (zero). Also, the Number Correct and Points Earned fields will match.

Updating Assignment Scores

Security Area:

  • "Gradebook Scores" - Update

URL(s):

  • POST /api/v5/gradebooks/{GradebookNumber}/assignments/{AssignmentNumber}/Scores
    • GradebookNumber (required) – the specific Aeries Gradebook Number
    • AssignmentNumber (required) – the specific Assignment Number
  • POST /api/v5/gradebooks/assignments/{UniqueID}/Scores
    • UniqueID (required) – The District-wide Unique ID for this assignment. The teacher has the ability to change the Assignment Number, but the Unique ID for an assignment will never change. Once the Unique ID is known, it can be used to guarantee that future API calls refer to the same assignment.

Notes:

  • This end point returns an “ArrayOfAssignmentScore” container of “AssignmentScore” objects similar to the regular Assignment Scores end point. Regardless of how many scores are updated, all scores for the selected assignment will be returned after the update is completed.
  • For Standards-based grades, the list of standards and the "Academic Benchmark Id" are available through the Assignment Information API.
  • For Rubric-based grades, send the numeric Rubric value for Number Correct.
