services/progs/programme

Consumer: optional Token: ignored Scopes: n/a SSL: not required
https://usosapps.us.edu.pl/services/progs/programme

Get information on a given study programme.

programme_id required

ID of a programme.

fields optional

Default value: id|description

Selector of result fields you are interested in. The selector may contain any subset of fields, which are described in the returns section.

format optional

Default value: json

Format in which to return values. See supported output formats.

callback optional

Required only if you've chosen jsonp as a return format.

Plus optional standard OAuth Consumer signing arguments: oauth_consumer_key, oauth_nonce, oauth_timestamp, oauth_signature, oauth_signature_method, oauth_version. Token is not required.

Returned value:

A dictionary of selected fields and their values.

Available fields:

  • id - ID of the programme;

  • name - a LangDict object with the name of the programme;

  • description - again, a LangDict object with the name of the programme.

    This field is deprecated because its name was misleading. It does not contain the description of the programme. Its value is very short and contains only the name of the programme. Currently it is an alias of the name field.

  • faculty - a faculty object, or null.

    This is the faculty which administers this study programme. The object is of the same structure as the one described in the services/fac/faculty method. If no faculty administers this programme, then null will be returned.

    This field references objects returned by services/fac/faculty method. See its returns section for possible subfields.

  • all_faculties - a faculty object, or null.

    List of faculties related to programme.

  • mode_of_studies - a LangDict object with a short, human-readable representation of the studies-mode provided by the programme (e.g. full-time);

  • level_of_studies - a LangDict object with a short, human-readable representation of the level of the programme (e.g. first cycle programme);

  • duration - a LangDict object with a short, human-readable representation of the duration of the programme (e.g. 3-year studies);

  • professional_status - a LangDict object with the description of qualifications that will be acquired after graduation from this programme;

  • level - One of following values: first_cycle, second_cycle, third_cycle, phd_school, long_cycle.

Thrown errors:

  • object_not_found - some of the referenced objects do not exist; param_name is equal to programme_id.

USOS API supports personalized search results. For example, it may display certain items higher in the results, based on personal user preferences and connections. You should include Access Tokens in your requests in order to make use of these features. For best results, you should also use the search_history_affect method.

    • programme - the programme object, as described in the programme method.
    • match - programme name with matching fragments highlighted with HTML <b> tag.

      The match may also contain other content, depending on your query, e.g. programme ID.

Consumer: required Token: optional Scopes: n/a SSL: not required
https://usosapps.us.edu.pl/services/progs/student_programme

Visibility of the fields depends on many variables which are not publicly documented. However, some general rules apply:

  • You should always provide an Access Token (if you have one).

  • If you want to have access to more objects and fields, then you should probably ask your users for the studies scope.
  • Active students are "more visible" than inactive ones (more fields can be read without the Access Token).
  • Staff members have "more access" than users outside of staff. (However, you might need to gain access to some specific scopes before you'll be able to see it.)
