SIS API

Part of SIS is made available as a public API.

The public API is primarily a self-service course search API. It returns, in JSON Format, a list of courses available through the Public Course Search https://sis.jhu.edu/classes.

The SIS API provides several endpoints and it can be used to filter courses based on school name, academic term, section number, etc. It can further be given a custom query using a set of query string parameters to search for courses.

The API documentation is available at https://sis.jhu.edu/api.

We will be using the following endpoints:

• To get a list of all available schools

  https://sis.jhu.edu/api/classes/codes/schools?key=apikeyvalue
  

• To get a list of available academic terms

  https://sis.jhu.edu/api/classes/codes/terms?key=apikeyvalue
  

• Advanced Search

  https://sis.jhu.edu/api/classes?key=apikeyvalue&School=schoolvalue&Term=termvalue&CourseTitle=titlevalue`,
  

The apikeyvalue is an access key which you will obtain after registeration.
