The following enhancements are now available in the CAS API. All enhancements are automatically available to all CASs and participating programs using the CAS API. No action is required on the part of any association, school, or program. If you have any questions about these features, contact your Account Manager or support.
Social Security Number (SSN) Encryption Keys
The CAS API now supports multiple Social Security Number (SSN) encryption keys per organization. The encryption key is specified in a new, optional request parameter, X-API-PUBLICKEYID. This can be passed to Application APIs or as a response option in Subscription APIs.
Note that you must provide Liaison your public key before you can use this feature. Once the public key is installed, SSNs will be encrypted through an hourly batch process, and you can use the request parameter to retrieve the encrypted SSNs.
Data Hold for Select Application Statuses
If you are a CAS Subscription API client, you can now use a new dataHold request property that suppresses data delivery for one or more application statuses (e.g., In Progress, Received, Verified, etc.). This helps you pull data for only the application statuses you need.
New CAS API and SlideRoom Properties
The CAS API application response model now includes the following properties:
- programsSelected.completionDate
- programsSelected.programLORsReceived
If you participate in SlideRoom, you can also use these new CAS API properties:
- slideRoomInfo.id
- slideRoomInfo.programSelectedId
- slideRoomInfo.slideRoomApplicationId
- slideRoomInfo.submitted
- slideRoomInfo.submittedDate
- slideRoomInfo.firstSubmittedDate
- slideRoomInfo.createdDate
- slideRoomInfo.updatedDate
