Determine that Brightwheel has no public developer API and design an integration around exports and vendor-built bridges instead

Steps
Check Brightwheel's help center and GitHub org for official developer API documentation before assuming REST/GraphQL access exists
Note that available community tooling (e.g. third-party GitHub repos) relies on reverse-engineered session cookies rather than a supported public API
For legitimate integrations, contact Brightwheel directly about existing named partner integrations (KinderConnect, My Food Program, government subsidy bridges) rather than building a generic API client
Where no partner integration exists, plan around manual or scheduled data exports/reports available in the Brightwheel web app
Re-check periodically since Brightwheel has built bespoke state-specific API bridges (e.g., Iowa) that are not part of a general public API
Known gotchas
Unofficial GitHub 'brightwheel-api' clients authenticate via browser session cookies, not API keys, and can break without notice when Brightwheel changes its web app
Brightwheel does build real government/subsidy-system integrations (e.g., Iowa's C3 dashboard), so 'no public API' does not mean no integrations exist — it means access is partner-negotiated, not self-serve
