Account Setup for Using the AP Higher Education Score Report Web Service
To download AP score report data files automatically, you can call our RESTful web service. If you choose this option for downloading TXT/CSV data files, please ensure all the following requirements are met. Otherwise, call attempts to the automated web service will fail.
Account Requirements for Using the Web Service
A valid, up-to-date College Board professional account.
An email-based College Board professional account, with multifactor authentication (MFA) disabled, is required to use the automated web service. You can create an account via the registration page. For more information, visit College Board Professional Account Help.
Proper access for the professional account.
You must add an access code to your account that grants you the APOSRD HED Admin role for your institution. This role is required to generate and download files via the web service. Access codes are provisioned to the verified main point of contact at your institution. You may need to reach out to the director of your registrar or admissions office for this code. Please contact us at [email protected] for additional questions about access.
The site terms of use have been accepted under this account after logging in to the AP Higher Education Score Reporting portal.
Before using the account for web service downloads, you must log in once to AP Higher Education Score Reports and accept the site terms of use.
The professional account password is confirmed as current.
Passwords must be updated periodically for all professional accounts. If your password has expired, calls to the web service will fail. To avoid disruptions, make sure to update your code accordingly whenever the password is changed.
To ensure your professional account password does not expire, log in regularly to AP Higher Education Score Reports using the account used to download files. It's also recommended that you implement error handling in your code to alert you when login or authentication errors occur during web service calls.
