Create and manage student groups using the Google Classroom API
What’s changing
Last year, we announced a new feature that enables teachers to create groups of students in Google Classroom. Now, we are excited to announce the launch of the Google Classroom API Student Groups endpoints which enable developers to manage student groups and group members on behalf of administrators and teachers.
The Student Groups endpoints are currently available through the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program (DPP). Specifically, developers will be able to:
- Create, modify, and delete student groups within a course.
- Add and remove members within student groups.
This launch will help Developers to programmatically read and manage student groups in Google Classroom, enabling greater integration between Google Classroom and other tools used by teachers.
Getting Started
