}About the senecapolytechnic.ca API
The Seneca Polytechnic API covers 9 endpoints that expose structured data across Seneca's full-time program catalog, including course breakdowns by semester, domestic and international tuition by academic year, and transfer pathways. list_programs returns every program name, code, and URL in a single call, while deeper endpoints like get_program_courses and get_program_costs let you drill into individual programs by their short program code.
Program Discovery
list_programs returns a full catalog snapshot with each program's name, code, and URL — no filters required. For targeted queries, search_programs accepts up to four optional keyword parameters: area (e.g. Business, Health), campus (e.g. Newnham, King), credential (e.g. Diploma, Degree), and program_type (e.g. Online, Co-op). Results include a summary field alongside name, code, and URL. The dedicated list_programs_by_credential and get_program_by_type endpoints accept a single keyword and return the same result shape when you only need one filter axis.
Program Detail Endpoints
Passing a program_code (e.g. CPP, BBA) to get_program_overview returns structured details key-value pairs such as credential type, school, and duration, plus a description string and an availability array showing term, campus, and status combinations. get_program_courses organises courses into a semesters array; each semester contains a courses array with code, name, description, and delivery modes — useful for building semester-by-semester curriculum views.
Costs, Admissions, and Pathways
get_program_costs returns a costs array where each entry carries academic_year, tuition_domestic, and tuition_international, along with a note string containing disclaimers. get_program_admission_requirements returns a requirements_text string with prerequisite and course-requirement details. get_program_pathways returns a pathways array where each object includes type (to_seneca or beyond_seneca), program, institution, and url, covering both articulation credits coming in and university transfer routes going out.

Does Seneca Polytechnic have an official public developer API?+
What does `get_program_pathways` return and how are pathway types distinguished?+
get_program_pathways returns a pathways array where each entry has a type field set to either to_seneca (articulation credits from external programs into Seneca) or beyond_seneca (transfer routes from Seneca to universities). Each entry also includes program, institution, and url.Does `search_programs` support filtering by multiple criteria at once?+
search_programs accepts area, campus, credential, and program_type as independent optional parameters in a single request. All supplied filters are applied together, so passing campus=King and credential=Diploma returns only diploma programs available at the King campus.Are part-time or continuing education programs covered?+
Is there individual course detail beyond what appears in a program's course list?+
get_program_courses returns course code, name, description, and delivery modes as they appear within a program's semester structure, but there is no standalone course-lookup endpoint that returns a course independently of a program. You can fork this API on Parse and revise it to add a dedicated course detail endpoint.
