The Fraud Data API

In the first phase ofdevelopment, the Fraud Data APIdevelopment, the CCCTC has developed an API solution that supports supports three main objectives to help identify and combat fraud: a) provide a mechanism for colleges to report instances of fraud to the CCCTC; b) the reporting of admission application data to a centralized database and the ability to run queries against that data using an authorized MIS code with an AppID or CCCID. Internally, an algorithm determines if a submitted fraud application report also impacts another college in the district. If so, Superglue is leveraged to notify that college of the suspected bad actor.

From a development perspective, the first phase of the Fraud Data project is to implement a centralized service that gathers fraud cross-references instances of identified fraud across the system for the purpose of that a bi-directional API and that mechanism to design a multi-purpose, bi-directional API solution for combatting different forms of fraud across the CCC system.

By integrating the SuperGlue API to identify and share fraud data, colleges will be able to effectively extend the functionality of their own SIS systems and resources for increased efficiency. This is essential not only for meeting fraud reporting requirements, but decreasing overall costs and increasing time savings.

Districts are encouraged to use this API for development within their own internal SIS system.
