The PowerSchool Developer Site is the primary hub for technical professionals looking to extend, customize, and integrate with PowerSchool’s Student Information System (SIS) and broader ecosystem.

• Data Access: Retrieve and update data for students, contacts, assignments, grades, attendance, and more.
• Plugin Architecture: The API allows developers to create plugins that extend PowerSchool functionality without modifying the core SIS code.

• Tailored to your needs: With custom development, you can create solutions that address the specific pain points and challenges of your school or district.
• Increased efficiency: Automate manual processes and streamline workflows to save time and reduce errors.
• Enhanced user experience: Create custom interfaces and tools that make it easier for teachers, administrators, and parents to use PowerSchool.
• Integration with other systems: Integrate PowerSchool with other systems and applications to create a seamless and connected experience.

The developer site includes:

• Client Credentials (M2M): Your backend server talks to PowerSchool. Best for nightly data syncs.
• Authorization Code (User context): A teacher logs in. Your app asks for permission. You get a token for that specific teacher. Best for "Open ID Connect" SSO scenarios.
• Session Token (Legacy): Only for the embedded UI (Page Builder). Do not use this for external API calls.
