Authentication
Requirements for sending valid requests to ClassCharts.
Logging in
You'll need to login first, you can do this through the /login endpoint for your respective client.
With each request you must specify your authentication token in the authorization header, and optionally your student ID in the URL. However, it is required to specify student ID when using the parent API, as ClassCharts needs to know which student you would like to get data for.
E.g. /apiv2student/activity/2339528 with the header: Authorization: Basic eW91IHNob3VsZCBzdGFyIHRoaXMgcmVwbyE.
Retaining a session
To retain a session you need to ensure your session_id is always fresh. To do this, you'll need to call the ping endpoint with include_data: "true" for your respective client. In the request body there'll be a meta.session_id which can replace your old session_id.
