Google Classroom New Feature: Create and manage grading periods using API

Last year, Google introduced the availability of grading period endpoints as part of the Google Classroom API through the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program. Today, Google is excited to announce the general availability of this feature, which will enable developers to: 
Create, modify, and delete grading periods in courses 
Read grading periods in courses 
Reference and set grading periods on CourseWork resources 
Apply grading period settings to existing CourseWork items 
Who’s impacted: Developers 
Why you’d use it 
The new grading period endpoints allow developers to create, modify, and read grading periods in Classroom on behalf of administrators and teachers. 
How to use 
Admins: The Classroom API provides a RESTful interface for you to manage courses and rosters in Google Classroom. Learn more about the Classroom API overview. 
Developers
  • Application developers can use the Classroom API to integrate their apps with Classroom. These apps need to use OAuth 2.0 to request permission to view classes and rosters from teachers. Admins can restrict whether teachers and students in their domain can authorize apps to access their Google Classroom data. 
  • All API and Classroom share button integrations should follow the Classroom brand guidelines. 
Rollout pace 
This feature is available now. 
Availability 
A Google Workspace for Education Plus license is required to access this feature for both education leaders and educators. Learn more about licensing requirements.
