Engrade offers several RSS feeds to allow external applications to easily integrate an Engrade user's non-private information into their systems. Note that the RSS feeds will NOT provide access to any private information such as: student names, grades, scores, passwords, attendance, citizenship, Student IDs, or email addresses. All RSS feeds are cached on our proxy server for 20 minutes so there is no reason for your applications to request a feed more than once per 20 minute period. Usernames included in the feed URLs should be lowercase alphanumeric strings less than 30 characters long. Class IDs should be 13-digit numbers and the first two digits of the Class ID should be 10.

http://rss.engrade.com/teacher_username/classID
Shows a list of calendar entries for a given class including assignments, news, discussions, events, and lessons. See a demo here. By default this is active for all teachers unless they opt to de-activate their public website in their account settings.

http://rss.engrade.com/student_username/stuclasses
Shows a list of class names in a student's account. See a demo here. This will not show the student's name, ID, or grade in the class. Note that the <link> tag for each class will be in the format http://www.engrade.com/teacher_username/classID where teacher_username and classID exactly correspond to the variables required to access the class calendar as listed above.

http://rss.engrade.com/username/msg
Returns a single item where the <description> tag shows the number of unread messages in the user's account. See a demo here. This works for all types of account - administrators, teachers, students, and parents. This will NOT return any information about the messages, just a number.
