Getting Started

What are the ASSIST APIs?

The ASSIST APIs are a collection of endpoints that can be used to access data from the ASSIST system programmatically.

How do I access these APIs?

Access to data using the ASSIST APIs requires an API key. In order to obtain a key, you can request one by contacting us at help@assist.org. Once you have obtained an API key you can proceed to get started with Basic Concepts.

Additional system security and license agreement formalization are necessary to begin sharing data with the general public or for personal use. At this time, we anticipate API data sharing access will release to non-institution-sponsored requestors during the 2025-2026 Academic Year. Timeline and Data Availability information will continue to be updated on the ASSIST Resource Center - Data page.
