Google Classroom API: Student groups endpoints are now available
Last year, we announced the launch of the Google Classroom API Student Groups endpoints through the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program (DPP). Now, Student Groups endpoints are generally available, so developers no longer need to be in the Developer Preview Program (DPP) to access them.
Student Groups endpoints enable developers to manage student groups and group members on behalf of administrators and teachers. Specifically, developers can:
- Create, modify, and delete student groups within a course
- Add and remove members within student groups
- Read members of student groups
With this launch, developers can programmatically read and manage student groups in Google Classroom, enabling greater integration between Google Classroom and other tools used by teachers and schools.
Getting started
- Developers: Use the Manage student groups guide to get started.
Rollout pace
- Rapid Release and Scheduled Release domains: Available now
Availability
- API requests are permitted on behalf of teachers and administrators who have Google Workspace for Education Plus licenses
