Smart School Api is built on PHP Codeigniter. Its HTTP based api which sends and receives data in JSON format. Smart School Api is a middleware which provides communication between Smart School Android App and Smart School. Smart School Android App cannot directly interact with your Smart School so it require Smart School Api which fetches Smart School data and send to Smart School Android App.
In your Smart School Android App downloaded package from codecanyon, you can find folder smart_school_api_src which contains Smart School Api code files. To install Smart School Api on your server first create a folder with name api under your Smart School installation folder on your server. Now just copy all files under smart_school_api_src folder and paste in your Smart School api folder. Now further we need to edit two configuration files.
