Parse error on API call

PLEASE REMOVE THIS QUESTION

I'm using JavaScript to try and retrieve the list of courses and am receiving a jQuery parse error when using $.getJSON. I have attached my code for your review.

I modified the access_token to protect the innocent 🙂 I also verified that the JSON being returned is in fact valid.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

I'm trying to use the API from JavaScript as well. I am trying to use an jquery ajax call:

function getCourses(){

$.ajax

({

type: "GET",

url: "https://canvas.instructure.com/api/v1/courses",

// beforeSend: function (xhr) {

// xhr.setRequestHeader ("Authorization", "XXXX");

// },

headers: {

"Authorization": "XXXXXX",

"Access-Control-Allow-Origin": "*"},

dataType: 'json',

async: false,

success: function (){

console.log(data);

}

});

}

I get a cross domain errors.

It would be really helpful to have an example of how to get API calls working from client side JavaScript.

Hi @belgort ,

I am going through having a look at some of the early days in the Canvas Developers group, and checking in to see if older enquiries have been answered. I also noticed there hasn’t been any discussion on this question in quite some time.

I am wondering, were you ever able to resolve this with the assistance provided? I am hoping I can assume that it is well and truly resolved by now, but if not, please let us know and we can certainly have another look. Alternatively, if have some insights you may be able to share for others that would be awesome too!

I will mark this as assumed answered for the time being, however, by all means please let us know if you still have an outstanding question and we will take a peek!

Cheers,
Stuart

Concluded Course and Canvas Data Services
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.
