  title: ClassQuill Public API
  description: >-
    REST API for ClassQuill tutoring organisations. Pipe your sessions,
    invoices, payments, tutor earnings, students, and more into your own tools.
    Most endpoints are reads; a focused set of writes (each gated by a *:write
    scope) create or update data, including creating student/tutor/parent
    accounts.


    Authenticate every request with an org API key:

        Authorization: Token token=ei_live_...

    Mint keys in the ClassQuill app under Settings → Developers.
