kind: company
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.
