Overview

The Regent 8 financial aid system supports third-party integration via a rich and robust API in the form of web services. The Regent Award API covers nearly 100% of all functionality available in our management UI. Interoperability is achieved via the SOAP protocol. The service definitions are provided as WSDL documents.

With few exceptions, service methods follow the convention of accepting a custom, complex type as an input parameter, and returning a custom, complex type as an output parameter. This version of the Web Service API User Guide details service methods relating to document, user, and role management.

This guide is geared towards Microsoft .Net C# developers. However, the majority of the concepts and examples provided apply to all programming languages and frameworks.

Adding a Service Reference in Visual Studio

Adding a reference to these services to your Visual Studio project can be accomplished in a number of ways including use of svcutil for more advanced scenarios, or by simply using the Add Service Reference available within your Visual Studio project as illustrated in the screenshot below.

API Security

The Regent Award API is secured by the following methods:

HTTPS
1. For transport layer security
IP Whitelisting and/or VPN only access
API service credentials.
1. A SecurityToken object containing a Regent provided ClientId and Token is passed into every API service call

Important SecurityToken Information

A SecurityToken object needs to be passed into every Regent API service method which contains both the API service credentials and the user that the service method should execute as. The ClientId/Token gets you access to call the services.

In some cases it may be appropriate to have one or more system users that would reflect different customer applications. For example, there could be different credentials and/or users for various customer services that is leveraging the Regent Award API:

Student Information System
Document Management System
Satisfactory Academic Progress service

This allows for clear user tracking in the Regent Award system by reflecting the system creating or modifying data.

Store ClientId and Token values in application configuration! These may be different between production and test environments. And they may need to be updated at a later date.

Use a common method to create the SecurityToken in the application code.

SecurityToken fields

Username
1. String. Provided by Regent.
UserId
1. Long. Provided by Regent.
DashboardAdmin
1. Boolean. Always set to true.
ClientId
1. String. Provided by Regent.
Token
1. String. Provided by Regent

Working with Student Identifiers

Regent Award maintains a unique internal ID for every student record in its system, typically referred to as studentId. Customers supply their own student identifiers in the Student Batch Load process when creating or updating students in Regent. These are referred to as external ID's in Regent Award and four are provided for student records: externalId1, externalId2, externalId3, and externalId4.

The majority of Regent service methods expect to work with Regent Awards internal unique studentId, NOT the customer external identifiers. Therefore, customers need to get Regent's internal student ids prior to interacting with Regent Web Services.

There are multiple strategies available for customers to ensure they have the studentId for student records.

Individually look up Regent Award studentIds based on customer externalId prior to utilzing service methods for a given student.
Retrieve Regent Award studentId's in bulk by leveraging Regent Award Data Views or via API Service Methods that return lists of students.

In many cases it would be best practice and recommended for customers to cache or store Regent's student identifiers in their system. This would especially be the case if a customer has large student populations and/or are calling services very frequently. They could be cached as they are looked up one-off, or in bulk. Developers should be aware that it is possible for customers to effectively change Regent hosted external identifiers by both service method calls and the Student Batch Load file process. This could happen for a number of reasons and the customer should be aware of their processing scenarios if caching studentIds.

Regent Award Student Identifier Lookup C# Example

long studentid = -1;

string externalId1 = "EXTERNAL_ID_HERE";
GetStudentsRequest getStudentsRequest = new GetStudentsRequest();
getStudentsRequest.SecurityToken = securityToken; // update with your instantiated SecurityToken object

// this method is special in that you can build a dynamic set of filters. Here we want to find student
getStudentsRequest.filter = new Filter
{
	Filters = new List<Filter>
	{
		new Filter {Field = "externalId1", Operator = "eq", Value = externalId1}
	}.ToArray()
};
getStudentsRequest.endRowIndex = 10;

GetStudentsResponse getStudentsResponse = client.getStudentBasicInfoList(getStudentsRequest);

if (!getStudentsResponse.Success)
	throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("Error calling {0}:{1}", "getStudentBasicInfoList", getStudentsResponse.Message));

// expect you'll get 1 and only 1 record. Adjust for your needs.
if (getStudentsResponse.Records.Length != 1)
{
	throw new ApplicationException(string.Format("Expected 1 student record but found {0} records", getStudentsResponse.Records.Length));                
}

studentid = getStudentsResponse.Records[0].Id;
return studentid;

USER MANAGEMENT

A common use of the User and Roles services in Regent Award is to systematically provision user accounts/roles. For example, a customer may utilize the Regent Award services along with an existing enterprise identity management system to A) determine whether to allow access to Regent Award at all and B) map Regent Award roles to roles defined in the customer system and C) ensure user access to Regent Award is removed in termination or position change scenarios.

* The “Password must be reset on next login” checkbox in the Regent Award UI translates to the PasswordExpiresOn field. If PasswordExpiresOn is set prior to the current utc time, the checkbox would be checked. To update an existing user to force a reset of password, get the login record from getLogin method, and then update PasswordExpiresOn property on the login record to the past in UTC time. Example: “.PasswordExpiresOn = DateTime.UtcNow.AddDays(-1);”. Then call the updateLogin method to persist the change to the login record.

Getting Document Information

Method

GetDocumentRequirementResponse getDocumentRequirement(GetDocumentRequirementRequest request);

Description

This method is used to get document information for an existing document.
To call this method, you need to construct a GetDocumentRequirementRequest object with the following properties:
public SecurityToken SecurityToken { get; set; } // see Creating a Document
public new long? Id { get; set; }
GetDocumentRequirementResponse has the same properties as UpdateDocumentRequirementResponse — see Creating a Document.

C# Code Sample

private GetDocumentRequirementResponse GetDocumentRequirementInfo(long documentRequirementId)
{
RegentEnterpriseServiceClient wsClient = null;
GetDocumentRequirementResponse getDocumentRequirementResponse = null;
// CAUTION: don't wrap client in using statement:
// http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa355056.aspx
try
{
#region authenticate user – replace with appropriate implementation
SecurityToken securityToken = new SecurityToken()
{
Username = "system",
UserId = -1,
DashboardAdmin = true,
// provided by Regent. These would be config settings
ClientId = "CustomerClientId",
Token = "l23kj5hklj3h4l3kj"
};
#endregion authenticate user
// this would likely be a config setting
string wsUrl = "https://schoolremwsqa.regenteducation.net/RegentEnterpriseWebService.svc";
wsClient = new RegentEnterpriseServiceClient();
wsClient.Endpoint.Address = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(wsUrl);
// set up request
GetDocumentRequirementRequest getDocumentRequirementRequest = new
GetDocumentRequirementRequest ();
getDocumentRequirementRequest.SecurityToken = securityToken;
getDocumentRequirementRequest.Id = documentRequirementId;
// make call
getDocumentRequirementResponse = wsClient.getDocumentRequirement(getDocumentRequirementRequest);
// check for errors
if (getDocumentRequirementResponse == null)
throw new ApplicationException("No response from web service.");
if (!getDocumentRequirementResponse.Success)
throw new ApplicationException(getDocumentRequirementResponse.Message);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
if (wsClient != null) wsClient.Abort();
throw ex;
}
return getDocumentRequirementResponse;
}

Getting a List of Documents

Method

GetDocumentRequirementListResponse getDocumentRequirementList(GetDocumentRequirementListRequest request);

Description

This method is used to get a list of documents, e.g., for a specified student.

Updating a Document

Method

UpdateDocumentRequirementResponse updateDocumentRequirement(UpdateDocumentRequirementRequest request);

Description

This method is used to update an existing document.
This method takes the same UpdateDocumentRequirementRequest object and returns the same UpdateDocumentRequirementResponse object as createDocumentRequirement() — see Creating a Document. Prior to making updates, the UpdateDocumentRequirementRequest.Record should be populated using getDocumentRequirement() to pick up the current property values— see Getting Document Information. Once populated, change the properties to be updated.

C# Code Sample

private void UpdateDocumentRequirementNotes(long documentRequirementId, string notes)
{
RegentEnterpriseServiceClient wsClient = null;
// CAUTION: don't wrap client in using statement:
// http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa355056.aspx

wsClient = new RegentEnterpriseServiceClient();
wsClient.Endpoint.Address = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress(wsUrl);
// get current document info
GetDocumentRequirementResponse documentRequirementInfo =
GetDocumentRequirementInfo(documentRequirementId);
#region perform update
// set up request
UpdateDocumentRequirementRequest updateDocumentRequirementRequest =
new UpdateDocumentRequirementRequest()
{
SecurityToken = securityToken,
Record = documentRequirementInfo.Record
};
// set the values being updated — LoginId and VersionStamp cannot be updated
// CreatedOn shouldn't be updated
updateDocumentRequirementRequest.Record.Notes = notes;
// make call
UpdateDocumentRequirementResponse updateDocumentRequirementResponse =
wsClient.updateDocumentRequirement(updateDocumentRequirementRequest);

// check for errors
if (updateDocumentRequirementResponse == null)
throw new ApplicationException("No response from web service.");
if (!updateDocumentRequirementResponse.Success)
