Hi,

I'm developing an integration using the Canvas API and we desperately need the essay question answer text available via the API. Getting it via file download is not acceptable.

The 'undocumented feature' mentioned in https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Developers-Group/How-get-all-answers-from-a-quiz-using-the-API/td... does not work. There is no such 'submission_data' portion in the response.

What I have are quizzes and in each quiz there can be text answers to essay questions. Is there an API endpoint now that can give me the students' text answers to essay questions?
