# Siga 3

### What is a Siga?

The *Siga* word is an acronym for "*Sistema Integrado de Gestão Acadêmica*", or "*Integrated Academic Management System"*. All universities have a system like that to efficiently manage grades, classes, subjects, registrations, enrollments, and other academic needs.

### What is [Siga 3](https://siga.ufjf.br/)?

[UFJF](https://www2.ufjf.br/ufjf/) has its own Siga platform, it's separated into 3 main Sigas, the Siga the students use on [UFJF](https://www2.ufjf.br/ufjf/) is the [Siga 3](https://siga.ufjf.br/).

### Why MySiga only works for [Siga 3](https://siga.ufjf.br/) from [UFJF](https://www2.ufjf.br/ufjf/)?

Each university implements its own Siga system, so there is no pattern to make a unique API for different universities.

### Is it safe to use MySiga API?

No... don't trust me, the code is open-source, you can validate it, clone, modify it, and host it on your own. It's your choice and your own responsibility.

I am just sharing my work, so I can incentivize others. I assume no responsibility for what u do with this API.

### Why build MySiga API?

MySiga is not a brand, has no money invested, and has no relation with [UFJF](https://www2.ufjf.br/ufjf/).

So the reasons to do it are:

1. I am a developer, and I want to test my skills
2. I am lazy and wanted to automate the enrollment in classes
3. I couldn't find any API for [Siga 3](https://siga.ufjf.br/) publicly accessible to the students
4. I wanna understand how my university does coding and learn from it

My want with this API is to facilitate student's access to their university from a programmatic way, so we can all play with new challenges and learn!
