API to get courses for a specific sis_course_id

Is there a way to get a course for a specific sis_course_id?

If not is there a way to get all the courses for a specific sis_term_id?

Will this API endpoint work?

GET /api/v1/search/all_courses

query parameter:

search sis_term_id=xx123

or

search sis_course_id = xxxx-1234-xxxx

G'day Edith,

The simplest way to get a course for a specific SIS COURSE ID is to use this form of identifier in the API request. It is described in this part of the API documentation https://developerdocs.instructure.com/services/canvas/basics/file.object_ids
