Request

GET /api/academic/section_types/{id}

Required Headers

Authorization: Bearer {jwt}

Parameters

Parameter Name Type Description Valid values Required

(standard filter parameters as documented in the introduction section of this portal)

Notes on usage

When {id} is excluded from the URL, all section types are returned as a collection. This can be useful when an application needs to provide a complete list of valid selections. Standard filtering via URL parameters is also available and returns a collection; the collection will be empty if no records are qualified by the filtering.

Business Logic

The {id} and {name} attributes are sourced from the Banner stvschd table - stvschd_code and stvschd_desc.

Returns

Status Code Description
200 {id} requested exists or was not specified
404 {id} requested does not exist
