Sync student and section data from a PowerSchool SIS using the PowerSchool API plugin OAuth 2.0 flow and retrieve students enrolled in a specific section
Install a PowerSchool API plugin with a plugin.xml that declares the required OAuth scopes and data access permissions
POST to /oauth/access_token with client_credentials grant using the plugin's client_id and client_secret to obtain a Bearer token
GET /ws/v1/district/school to enumerate schools and store their school_number values
GET /ws/v1/school/{school_id}/section to list sections with their section_number and course_number
GET /ws/v1/school/{school_id}/section/{section_id}/student to retrieve the enrolled student list with DCID and student_number
Handle pagination via the pagesize and page query parameters and check the returned count against totalcount
Known gotchas
Plugin-based OAuth requires the plugin to be approved by a PowerSchool administrator before tokens can be issued; the integration cannot self-register
The DCID is PowerSchool's internal surrogate key and differs from student_number; use DCID for API cross-references and student_number only for display
PowerSchool rate-limits API calls per plugin; exceeding the limit returns 429 with a Retry-After header that must be honored
