Is there API support for Attendance Registers?

I know there are some LTI tools which can be surfaced in the Attendance tool, but haven't found any API documentation for pushing/pulling attendance data to/from an external tool.

Hello @Johan.S.429, welcome to Brightspace Community! Based on what you're describing, there isn't a dedicated API for directly managing Attendance Registers in Brightspace. However, you can access attendance data through the Attendance Data Sets available in the Data Hub https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/4519-attendance-data-sets . This documentation can help in creating and managing Attendance Registers: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3554-create-and-manage-attendance-registers

You might find the Brightspace API Automation Service helpful. This service offers resources and tools to automate processes and solve specific data output requirements, which could be beneficial depending on your needs https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/1102-getting-started-with-brightspace-api-automation

Hope this information helps!

Thanks @Krizzy.S.9720 for the information! I've already looked through those resources and was hoping to find a way for external attendance tracking solutions to update a register in Brightspace (such an id card tap-in device). So not a data output but an ingest method. Will just track externally I guess. Thanks anyway!
