New Features and Enhancements

CAS API Enhancements

The following 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 a member of your account team or support.

Disclaimer: on rare occasions, a new feature or enhancement may be moved to a future release or otherwise subject to change.

   Data Dictionary Endpoint

You can now generate a school-scoped, on-demand data dictionary through a data dictionary API endpoint. The data dictionary is formatted as an Excel workbook and contains:

  • An Overview worksheet with metadata about the CAS, cycle, school/organization, and creation date.
  • A Data Dictionary worksheet with metadata and descriptions for all properties in an application response.
  • Separate worksheets for CAS- and program-level custom questions and lookup tables.
