API Get participants

From zFairs Contest Management

Get Participants

Returns all student/participant records for a fair, including project links, school/teacher, tags, waivers, and fee status when fees are tracked.

Authentication

All data API calls are POST (unless noted) with JSON body:

Field Required Description
ApiKey Yes Private API key for your site.
FairId Yes Fair GUID from the site URL (f query parameter).
Body Depends Request payload. Use {} when no body fields are needed.


Calls must be run server-side — do not expose your API key in a browser.

Response envelope

Most endpoints return:

{
  Success: true,
  Message: null,   // error text when Success is false
  Body: { ... }    // endpoint-specific payload
}

  • category, school, and teacher use { Id, Name }.
  • For project-scoped participants with flattened columns, see API Get Projects.
