How to I GET Category Grades per Enrollment in an API?

I am looking for the current grades of the grading categories per enrollment.

Do you know what API I can grab that information at?

If it does not exist, can you create those endpoints and accessible via a API?

For Example: I am looking for the API leading to the numbers in columns BQ, BU, BY, CC, CG, CK, CO and CS in the gradebook export located in each courses current gradebook export.

What do you mean by "Category Grades"? Do you mean the grades of an Assignment Group?

The column names you provided aren't very meaningful, as they will be different based on the assignments that you have in your course, and even on the sorting and filtering that you may have on your gradebook.

From the API, you can get assignment grades, as well as the gradebook history/change log, both of which can tell you the current assignment grades for each student.
But neither of those give you the assignment group grades.
To get those using the API, you would need to calculate them on your end after calling the grades in the API (you can get the assignment group information -both the assignments that belongs to the group as well as the group weights- using the Assignment Groups API, and then the assignment grades using, for example, the submissions data from the Gradebook History API).

Hello Gabriel33,

Yes, I mean grades by assignment group grades.

Right, I understand I can calculate them but I want that data point from Canvas end so I don't have too. Too prone to user error.

Thanks,

Alex
