This page contains information on upcoming features for the Classroom API and details on how to participate in developer preview.
Preview the Classroom API
Previewing Classroom API features provides an opportunity for developers to influence the shape of feature development with feedback and have integrations ready for public use ahead of general availability.
Preview lifecycle
Developers can opt-in to versions of the API that contain new, backwards-compatible features. These "preview versions" are available publicly for at least 90 days. Subject to feedback, the preview version and its features are then incorporated into the existing v1 API. Preview versions are eventually deprecated and remain available for at least another 90 days.
If feedback on a preview version is strong enough to require breaking changes, a new version is created to support the existing capabilities. Both versions are available for at least 90 days to allow developer migration. Join the Classroom API Developer Preview mailing list to stay informed of preview changes and subscribe to the announcement list for more general Classroom API updates.
Participate in Classroom API previews
To participate, join the Google Workspace Developer Preview Program. Available public preview features are listed in the Google Workspace active developer previews. If you're testing a private preview feature, you may not see that feature listed in any public documentation.
