Introducing SpringAPIs
SpringAPIs allows institutions to securely connect AwardSpring with other systems they use on campus—such as SIS, CRM, ERP, and reporting/analytics tools. These new API endpoints make it easier to automate workflows, reduce manual data pulls, and maintain accurate scholarship funding information across platforms.
What Are SpringAPIs?
SpringAPIs are secure, read-only data endpoints that provide direct programmatic access to key AwardSpring data. They are designed for institutions that want deeper system connectivity, automated reporting, or real-time data syncing.
SpringAPIs use industry-standard token-based authentication, making it easy for your technical teams to integrate AwardSpring with other systems they rely on.
Who Can Use SpringAPIs?
SpringAPIs are available to Enterprise customers.
An administrator can request that APIs be enabled for their institution. Once enabled, a new API Management screen will appear in the administrator interface, allowing your team to:
Generate secure access tokens
Monitor API activity
Revoke or regenerate tokens at any time
Share tokens with your IT or integration team
This workflow mirrors what developers expect from modern SaaS platforms, ensuring a smooth technical onboarding experience.
Note: You are able to create up to 10 tokens at one time.
Currently Available API Endpoints
Our initial release includes a limited but impactful set of read-only endpoints. You can view the full list in our SpringAPI Endpoint Library.
What’s Coming Next
SpringAPIs are the first step in a continually expanding integration layer.
Over time, we will add:
Additional read-only data types
Filtering and searching capabilities
Support for POST/PUT actions (creating or updating data)
Expanded coverage across applicants, evaluations, awards, and academic data
How to Get Started
Confirm your institution is on the AwardSpring Enterprise tier. If you are unsure, please don't hesitate to reach out to support.
Have an Administrator request API enablement by contacting the AwardSpring Support Team.
Once enabled, visit the API Management screen to:
Create an API access token
Provide it to your IT or BI team
Begin consuming endpoints using standard HTTPS requests (GET).
Your IT team can use the API token in any integration platform or custom script.
FAQ
Are SpringAPIs secure?
Yes. SpringAPIs use access tokens, HTTPS, and standard authentication patterns used by modern SaaS integrations.
Can I write data back to AwardSpring?
Not yet. Initial endpoints are read-only. Write access will be introduced in future releases.
Do I need IT involvement?
While anyone can generate a token, consumption of API endpoints typically requires IT or development resources.
