Getting Quiz/Section mapping using REST API

Question

For assignments I can get overrides to figure out which Sections they are assigned to. But how do I do that for Quizzes? There doesn't seem to be an override and I can't map a Quiz object to something else that gives me Section information.

@martinv2 I'm not sure if I am missing something. The overrides for quizzes are found under the associated assignment for the quiz. If you have the assignment overrides, you have the quiz overrides. For example, let's say that I'm editing a quiz with this pathname: /courses/2687822/quizzes/6432609/edit and it looks like this inside Canvas. This quiz is only available to 10 students (I have different versions of my final) and split it up. If I use the API to get the quiz information, I get a JSON object (I'm only showing parts of it here) GET /api/v1/courses/2687822/quizzes/6432609 {
"id":6432609,
"title":"Final Challenge",
"quiz_type":"assignment",
"all_dates":[
{
"id":2336822,
"due_at":"2020-05-13T04:59:59Z",
"unlock_at":"2020-05-11T05:00:00Z",
"lock_at":"2020-05-14T04:59:59Z",
"title":"10 students"
}
],
"assignment_id":26647463,
}‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ It shows me that there is an override inside the all_dates property, but not who it is assigned to. The thing that I need is the assignment_id 26647463. I get the single assignment from the API with include[]=overrides. GET /api/v1/courses/2687822/assignments/26647463?include[]=overrides This includes (again, I've stripped some out) a list of the overrides. Mine are showing up as "student_ids" because it's assigned to individual students. You would have a different property there if it is for a section.
