Office of the University Registrar

Our colleagues in the Office of Information Management (OIM), in coordination with UW Marketing and UW Technology, have achieved another milestone in their efforts to bring a comprehensive set of web services to the UW campus: the release of the third version of the Student Web Service (SWS).

Last Friday, the third iteration—”v3″—of the SWS was released to the University community. Chief among the features of this version is the inclusion of “public APIs which require no client authentication.” For those who don’t speak programmer-ese, this means the service contains information that’s publicly available. The Office of the University Registrar and OIM worked together to determine what course data could be made available to anyone, not just members of the University community. More details can be found in this post at the UW’s Web Services blog.
