Assist.org Reverse Engineering

https://www.assist.org/api/AcademicYears Returns json list of years and year ID’s (this can be hardcoded math instead)

https://www.assist.org/api/institutions Returns list of institutions

import requests
import json
response = requests.get('https://www.assist.org/api/institutions')
institutions = json.loads(response.text)
print()

https://www.assist.org/api/institutions/11/agreements Returns list of institutions with agreements to institution 11

https://www.assist.org/api/agreements?receivingInstitutionId=11&sendingInstitutionId=5&academicYearId=75&categoryCode=major Returns list of majors and ID’s for institution 5→11

https://www.assist.org/api/articulation/Agreements?Key=75/5/to/11/Major/47164797-2cc9-4ba3-13cb-08dcbcdb53de Returns articulations and catalog year info
