Developers
Why you’d use it
The new grading periods endpoints allows developers to create, modify, and read grading periods in Classroom on behalf of administrators and teachers.
Getting started
Admins: The Classroom API provides a RESTful interface for you to manage courses and rosters in Google Classroom. Learn more about the
Classroom API overview. Developers: To use the grading periods API, developers can apply for access through our
Google Workspace Developer Preview Program. Application developers can use the Classroom API to integrate their apps with Classroom. These apps need to use OAuth 2.0 to request permission to view classes and rosters from teachers.
Admins can restrict whether teachers and students in their domain can authorize apps to access their Google Classroom data. All API and Classroom share button integrations should follow the
Classroom brand guidelines. Rollout pace
