Install and Use Postman

The CCCTC highly recommends implementing Postman for use with the Bi-directional Fraud Data API. Instructions for downloading and installing Postman are available from your Enabling Services Implementation Configuration Engineer (ICE).

Advantages of Using Postman

Using an API client tool, such as Postman, can greatly simplify the fraud reporting and querying processes for users that may not have experience with a GraphQL an API. The CCCTC has created templates based on the API schema that will simplify submitting and querying fraud reports for your college.

...

In our current flow of bi-directional fraud reporting, the CCCTC enables a college to submit (via the Bi-directional Fraud Data API) a fraud report and have it broadcast to other colleges (those colleges that the student also applied to). For the colleges that have the College Adaptor installed and the fraud-staging-table config enabled, the fraud report is pushed into that college’s sis staging table for fraud reports.

For colleges that don't have the College Adaptor installed (or the fraud-staging-table config disabled), we are unable to share the fraud report with them in this way. Instead It is expected that the college will use the Bi-directional Fraud Data API to retrieve the fraud reports associated with their college (by misCode).

(lightbulb) By providing direct access to the [Fraud Data ] API schema, the CCCTC has effectively empowered the districts with the ability to create and generate a custom user interface. That interface could, for example, that could be used to implement a more automated process for dealing with fraud application data in their district.
