</aside>
To start using the APIs to run and manage your online institute, you would first need to create a teacher account for yourself on wiseapp.live using your Desktop or Laptop. For logging in you can use either your phone number or using your Google email account. Once you have signed up, you can proceed to create your first institute using the dropdown on the top left as shown in the image below.
To get your API Key, you would need to send an email to [email protected] specifying your User name (Phone number or email), the name of your institute and the reason why you need to use the APIs instead of the dashboard. Turnaround for API Keys is typically under 24 hours.

Wise REST APIs uses the basic auth to authorise and authenticate calls. It provides secure access to protect resources thereby reducing the hassle of asking for a username and password/OTP every-time a user logs in.
There are four properties that you must include in every API call.
basic auth
****Your user ID & 32-character alphanumeric key string that gives you access to use the API. You would need to provide these in the Headers under the Authorization
key in basic auth scheme, i.e. Basic <base64 of "<user_id>:<key>">
institute_id
A UUID generated for your institute. You can find this in the browser URL bar when you open your institute on web.wiseapp.livearguments
These depend on the API method (POST
or GET
). These are JSON-encoded values sent along with the API would be something that is mentioned along with the request in the section below.With that in mind, the next step is to send a POST
or GET
request to api.wiseapp.live
with the appropriate values set.
A good first API call would be to get classes
in your institute. You would need to specify the API Key in the Header section. You can use Postman to send this API call
