New Service API = Announcement API?

Question

I started reading the News Service API. It sounds like this deals with Announcements. When I look at the News config variables, they are specifically talking about Announcements.

Does this provide a way to programaticlly post announcements at the various org levels using the API?

Hi @Randall.Sharpe350 ,

Thanks for reaching out to the Brightspace Community.

In this case News and Announcements are being used synonymously. This allows you to programmatically create Announcements/News Items at various org levels.
