Major, major kudos for including a functioning demo API key in your curl examples. Drives me nuts when you can't take a peek at sample data without signing up for a test app (and spending a few hours populating the empty account).

Appreciate it. We love it when people play around in our API sandbox (in fact, we made it part of the hiring process!)

Is the sample data the only data about the student that Clever handles? Or does Clever allow for more more data for schools to be added. Specifically, I'm curious about phone numbers for students and teachers.

We're adding new data fields all the time, based on partner requests. Send me an email & let's talk.

Do you integrate with existing LMSs? Or do you work with schools on a partner level and integrate with their specific SISs?

I love this. My company is in the midst of integrating with LMSs and it's brutal.

We feel your pain!

Our integrations are typically at the SIS level, but drop us a line and maybe we can help.

Do you have plans to cover university student systems? Ours has been "promising" API access to data for nearly 5 years...
