School Attendance API in Nigeria: Read Attendance From Your Own Software
Schools and the developers who build for them often need attendance in another system: a portal, a report generator or an AI assistant. mySmartAccessCard offers a simple read-only API for exactly that.
A school's attendance is most useful when it can travel. The mySmartAccessCard API lets a school's own software read who checked in, who was late and who was absent, with each student's class, without copying data by hand.
What the API gives you
- A day's attendance: present, late and absent, with class for students.
- Every check-in and check-out between two dates.
- Late arrivals per student or staff member.
- Who is in school right now.
Built for schools
- Read-only: it cannot change attendance or results.
- Never returns phone numbers or email addresses.
- Each key reads one school only and can be deleted at any time.
See the endpoints on the developer page, or explore mySmartAccessCard for schools.
