Getting grades for all students in a course

[Sean M]

Hi Valence Users,

I know I can make a call (/d2l/api/le/(version)/(orgUnitId)/classlist/) and get a list of all students enrolled in a course. And I know I could use that info to fire off individual calls for every student in the course.

But is there a way to get all grades for all students in a course with a single API call?

Hi Sean,

Unfortunately, no, there isn't a single call to get grades for all the students in a course at this time. We implemented a grades module for our CampusLife offering, and in fact discovered that there isn't a way to get all of the grades for a student with a single call: a list of grade objects needs to be requested, and then grade values for each object need to be retrieved separately. This is a known limitation with our API but I don't have any insight into plans that have been made to address it.

Thanks,

Mike

That's what I guessed after looking through the docs but wanted to make sure before I worked on a solution. Thanks Mike!
