| Discuss Gaucho Space API needs | Diana Antova | - Current DeptCourses API is from the IS&T Operational Data store
- The data is refreshed 5 times a day for current quarter
- The data is refreshed once a day for any past and future quarters
- New APIs available from GauchoBlue:
- API Improvements needed for Gaucho Space
- Students - add pronouns - have been added to the API as of today
- Curriculums - create an extended endpoint that includes the instructor ID.
- classes/search, parameter quarter, department
- How do we ensure we get all courses?
- Second one - rosters
- Seth - how many times a day do we pull data?
- 4 times a day, it takes about one hour of processing
- Json takes a lot of time, it will double the time with the new APIs
- Performance issue will be solved soon
- The search function is not meeting their needs
- Do we need a private API?
- Can we synchronize the student data on login?
- Instructors need to se eteh roster before the students login
- Brett - they pre-create course sites and instructors communicate and interact with students before they login.
- They join sections together and create one gaucho space course. Concurrent courses are treated teh same
- They load students separately, and then enroll them after
- Then they synch the data with changes
- Steven - do they do reporting?
- There is a visualization tool in gaucho space where they look for issues
- It seems better to continue to provide the deptcourses API instead of switching to the new ones.
- Brett - what is instructor function 4?
- Issue - exceptions when calling AIPs too fast
- Diane will send the error to Steven
- it will be best to rewrite it from Gaucho Blue to get refreshes for next quarter
- It could stay this way for now.
