tasked with creating a live scoreboard for a house competition that is being scored through a dedicated points category on Epraise.
In other words, I am trying to obtain the total points for each house, in a particular category only. I was wondering if this is something that is possible to achieve?
We already use this 'Data API' call to retrieve the totals for each house on our home page - https://api.epraise.co.uk/api_json.php?school=bostongrammar. I see that some of the other calls have additional parameters that can be specified, but these don't seem to work here? Is there any way I can filter by category? Or just get the full breakdown and have our site aggregate it? Theoretically, I could iterate over each student but I'm very reluctant to do anything like that due to the volume of requests that would create!
Data API (our own website integrates with Epraise and extracts data to display via the API). We currently obtain the total points for each house - I was wondering whether this could be filtered by category (so that we could do the score board for our competition as previously described)?
Would there be any way to obtain the same information but for a particular points category only? No worries if not, since I could probably extract it from the HTML source as previously described, but if there is a way to get this out of the API, it would be much cleaner and more future-proof.
