Seashell is an online integrated development environment, primarily used at the University of Waterloo as the main development environment for students taking CS 136.

Each course that uses Seashell has its own Seashell instance. The link to Seashell for a course can be found on that course’s website. As of Fall 2018, the only courses with a Seashell instance are CS 136 and CS 145.

This documentation is current for version 3.0.12 (HEAD-f942b966), and only describes API calls present in API version 7.
