Automate Edexcel Online with a workflow

A workflow runs your methods as one process, with nobody at the screen. A schedule or a call from your own system starts it, the steps run in order, and the result arrives in your inbox or in the systems you already use.

• New post-results outcomes, every morning of the season

  Build this

  Starts

  Every weekday at 8:00

  Step 1

  Track the post-results requests for the current session on the Post Results Track progress page.

  Step 2

  Keep the requests whose outcome changed since the last run.

  Step 3

  Email you each one with candidate, service, component, outcome, new mark and reason.

• New BTEC registration numbers, into your MIS

  Build this

  Starts

  Every Monday at 7:00

  Step 1

  For each programme you name, list the BTEC registrations for this year's enrolment.

  Step 2

  Keep the learners who were not there on the last run.

  Step 3

  Post each learner's name, ULN and registration number to your MIS webhook.

• Results for a list of candidates, on request

  Build this

  Starts

  When your system calls the workflow's webhook with a qualification, session and candidates

  Step 1

  For each candidate number sent, get the candidate's results.

  Step 2

  Keep the units and components with a grade.

  Step 3

  Post the results to your webhook, one record per candidate.

You can run a workflow by hand on every plan, Free included. Schedules and webhook triggers come with the paid plans, from $29 a month.

Once built, one call from your code

Once you have built a method, it is one POST to /v1/runs from your backend, or a tool an AI agent calls over MCP. This is what “Get a candidate's results” would look like.

curl https://api.fous.com/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FOUS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "method": "edexcelonline.pearson.com/get_candidate_results",
    "input": {
      "qualification": "International A Level",
      "session": "June 2026",
      "candidate_number": "4127"
    }
  }'

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "candidate_number": "4127",
    "name": "Rivera, Sam",
    "session": "June 2026",
    "results": [
      {
        "unit_or_component": "Pure Mathematics P1",
        "mark": 84,
        "grade": "a"
      }
    ],
    "qualification": "International A Level Mathematics",
    "overall_grade": "A"
  }
}

An example with invented data, not a ready-made endpoint. The method exists in your organization once you build it, and its name, inputs and fields follow your request.

Edexcel Online’s own options

Pearson's support pages describe no API for Edexcel Online. Centres with an MIS send entries and receive results as EDI files in the JCQ format through the A2C application. BTEC registrations, post-results requests and the results reports are handled in Edexcel Online itself.

Signing in to Edexcel Online

Edexcel Online signs you in with your username, which is the email address the account was created with, and your password, then a passcode from the Pearson Authenticator app on your phone. The same login opens ResultsPlus and Pearson's secure resources. With Fous you sign in through Edexcel Online's own sign-in with your own account, and the login is sealed with AES-256.

Worth knowing

Bulk reports arrive later, in the mailbox

A report requested from Reports - Bulk Download is delivered to your Edexcel Online mailbox within two hours. For one candidate's results straight away, a method reads Candidates, then Search.

Profiles decide what an account sees

Access is granted by ticking profiles in User Access Profile, and you can only grant profiles you hold. Pearson manages exams officer and Head of Centre accounts; the centre manages the others.

Accounts lock after 18 months unused

An Edexcel Online account is locked after 18 months without a sign-in. Changing a user's email address changes their username at once.

Registration deadlines and existing records

Most BTEC programmes on the academic year must be registered by 1 November after enrolment. If the learner is already registered on the programme, the record turns green and shows the existing number.
