The create assignment API
seems to create two duplicate assignments (instead of one) every time I call it. Has anyone else experienced this or can anyone help with this?
Thanks for the quick response! We have figured it out. It turns out we had implemented a retry system on any response that wasn't a 200. Creating an assignment actually returns a 201 so that triggered a retry in our system. We just amended it to accept any 2xx response as working.
@ @walter_yuan I have not seen this happen. The basic code I use for this (in python) is:
access_token=configuration["canvas"]["access_token"]baseUrl="https://"+configuration["canvas"]["host"]+"/api/v1/courses/"header = {'Authorization' : 'Bearer ' + access_token}payload = {}----------------------------------------------------------------------def create_assignment(course_id, name, max_points, grading_type, description): # Use the Canvas API to create an assignment # POST /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assignments url = baseUrl + '%s/assignments' % (course_id) if Verbose_Flag: print("url: " + url) payload={'assignment[name]': name, 'assignment[submission_types][]': ["none"], 'assignment[peer_reviews]': False, 'assignment[notify_of_update]': False, 'assignment[grade_group_students_individually]': True, 'assignment[points_possible]': max_points, 'assignment[grading_type]': grading_type, 'assignment[description]': description, 'assignment[published]': True # if not published it will not be in the gradebook } r = requests.post(url, headers = header, data=payload) if r.status_code == requests.codes.ok: if r.status_code == requests.codes.ok: page_response=r.json() print("inserted assignment") return True return False
I have not created a large number of assignments this way, but will do so over the next few days.
Canvas Data Services sent out an alert that a course was concluded (because the course was concluded) and the status of each user in the UI is set to complete, however, the enrollments API endpoint shows the status of each user in the course as active. Is this a common issue? Have I misinterpreted how the individual…
How can one track Canvas Media use without having the reports available from Canvas Studio? Checking API endpoints and the Data 2 schema, there do not seem to be dedicated Canvas Media endpoints. Am I missing some? A method I've considered is using the body field of the wiki_pages table, as this contains the html code of…
Hello, I'm trying to utilize an API call to pull completed certificates and was hoping to download and store the certs as a backup. I can successfully run the API call but it will not allow me to view the certificate unless I access the URL while signed into an account where it's "my" cert. Is there a permissions setting…

What I want initially is to see of canvas users can start using the webapp without having to login if they click on the external tool link in a canvas course. I have 2 methods…
