description: GoGuardian is a K-12 education technology company whose suite - Admin
  (DNS and device content filtering for CIPA compliance), Teacher (classroom
  management and student engagement), and Beacon (student safety and self-harm /
  suicide risk detection) - is administered through web dashboards rather than a
  broadly published public API. GoGuardian's integration model is primarily
  roster ingestion - it syncs organizations, students, teachers, guardians, and
  classes from district Student Information Systems via the IMS Global / 1EdTech
  OneRoster 1.1 REST API (using a Consumer ID / Secret and a OneRoster URL),
  Clever, ClassLink, and Google Classroom, and it consumes Google Workspace admin
  APIs on the district's behalf. A developer / partner documentation portal exists
  at based.goguardian.com ("GoGuardian Based Docs"), but GoGuardian's own outbound
  developer API surface is partner-gated and not openly published. The API entries
  below are honestly modeled logical surfaces, not a confirmed public REST catalog.

  description: Consumer-side roster synchronization. GoGuardian ingests organizations
    (OUs), students, teachers, guardians, classes, and enrollments from a district's
    Student Information System via the OneRoster 1.1 REST API (configured with a
    Consumer ID, Consumer Secret, and a OneRoster base URL), or via Clever, ClassLink,
    and Google Classroom. This is GoGuardian pulling standards-based roster data, not
    a GoGuardian-owned REST API. Endpoints follow the 1EdTech OneRoster specification
    on the district / SIS side; modeled here as an integration surface.

  description: GoGuardian maintains a developer / integration documentation portal at
    based.goguardian.com ("GoGuardian Based Docs"). Access to GoGuardian's outbound
    developer surface is partner-gated - there is no openly enumerable public REST
    reference, base URL, or self-serve API key flow published for third-party
    developers as of the review date. Documented as a gated developer surface;
    endpoints modeled, not confirmed. Districts and integration partners engage
    GoGuardian directly to enable API access.

  description: GoGuardian Beacon analyzes student browsing (and, via a Google Docs API
    integration, document) activity to detect signals of suicide, self-harm, and
    other safety risk, then routes time-stamped alerts through dashboard, email, and
    SMS notifications with configurable escalation paths. Beacon's alerting is
    configured and consumed through the Admin dashboard and notification channels
    rather than a published public alerts REST API; modeled here as a logical surface.
