do more with SELMA
Powerful developer tools for institutions with technical requirements.
SELMA's developer platform provides comprehensive API access, isolated testing environments, data warehouse connectivity, and AI-powered automation capabilities enabling technical teams to build custom integrations and extend platform functionality. RESTful API with interactive documentation supports programmatic access to all system functionality, sandbox environments enable safe integration testing without affecting production data, and direct data warehouse connections support advanced analytics beyond standard reporting. Model Context Protocol server enables sophisticated AI integrations whilst maintaining security and institutional control—giving technical teams the tools to customise, extend, and integrate SELMA with institutional technology ecosystems.
API
Comprehensive RESTful API provides programmatic access to SELMA functionality enabling custom integrations, mobile application development, and automated workflows tailored to institutional requirements. API endpoints support create, read, update, and delete operations across students, enrolments, courses, finances, and system configuration.
- Authentication via API keys or OAuth with rate limiting preventing abuse and ensuring security
- Webhook notifications alert external systems of data changes enabling real-time integration
- Interactive API documentation with code examples accelerates development and reduces implementation time
Build custom integrations connecting SELMA with bespoke institutional systems and workflows.

Sandbox Environment
Isolated testing environment providing safely contained replica of production system enabling developers and administrators to test integrations, experiment with configurations, or train staff without risk to live data. Sandbox environments can be refreshed from production capturing current data and configuration for realistic testing scenarios.
- Test transactions, data modifications, and workflow executions execute independently without affecting production
- Multiple sandbox instances support parallel testing initiatives and development workstreams
- Controlled promotion pathways migrate tested configurations to production systematically
Develop and test with confidence knowing production data remains protected from experimental changes.
Data Warehouse
Connect SELMA to institutional data warehouses or business intelligence platforms through scheduled data exports or direct database replication enabling advanced analytics and cross-system reporting beyond standard capabilities. Configurable extract schedules balance data freshness with system load whilst flexible export formats accommodate various warehouse architectures.
- Full or incremental extracts optimise data transfer efficiency for large datasets
- Field selection and filtering ensure relevant data flows to analytics platforms
- Integration with Power BI, Tableau, or Looker creates sophisticated visualisations and predictive analytics
Enable institutional research and advanced analytics through comprehensive data warehouse connectivity.
MCP Server
Model Context Protocol server enables advanced AI-powered automation and intelligent workflow orchestration across SELMA creating context-aware processes that adapt to institutional patterns. MCP facilitates AI model integration for natural language processing, predictive analytics, or intelligent document processing whilst maintaining security boundaries.
- Context management ensures AI models access relevant historical data whilst respecting privacy boundaries
- Extensible architecture supports custom AI model integration tailored to institutional requirements
- Comprehensive logging and explainability features ensure transparent AI decision-making supporting governance
Leverage cutting-edge AI capabilities whilst maintaining institutional control and data security.
