New Features and Enhancements

CAS API Enhancements

The following enhancements are automatically available for the CAS API, and no action is required on the part of any school or program. If you have any questions about these features, contact support.

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

New Option to Omit Documents from CAS API PDFs

This enhancement allows documents to be omitted from all supported application PDF types in the CAS API (i.e., reviewer, school, applicant). A new optional query excludeDocs is now supported for the program-level GET Application/pdf API:

GET /v1/applicationForms/{applicationFormId}/organizations/{organizationId}/programs/{programId}/applications/{applicationId}/pdf

For example, to exclude documents from a "School" PDF, the URL would be:
GET /v1/applicationForms/{applicationFormId}/organizations/{organizationId}/programs/{programId}/applications/{applicationId}/pdf?pdfType=school&excludeDocs=true

New Subscription Path Tokens <lastEvent> and <lastEventDate>

Due to the dynamic nature of event processing, it is possible for data payloads to be delivered out of order under high-load situations. Hence, the delivery time / timestamp is not always reliable. This feature addresses this issue by adding support for two new Subscription Path Tokens: <lastEvent> and <lastEventDate>. These properties can be appended to filenames and used to correctly order and process the data, in time-ascending order. We recommend using both tokens together, since the <lastEventDate> is dependent on the type of event communicated by the <lastEvent> token.

Coming Soon!
