Hello!
I was wondering if anyone has experience specifically with the Catalog API Documentation. I am trying to get a list of all Users and their certificates, however, I am finding that the API documentation is not clear enough for me to make successful calls to the endpoint. Below is the info provided in the docs:
Endpoint
GET https://www.my-catalog.edu/api/v1/completed_certificates
Parameters
| Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|
| user_idrequired | Canvas Id of the user | Integer |
| only_certificates | Indicates if the courses without certificates should be included, default is to include all courses | Boolean |
In the documentation, it does not clarify where the required field 'user_id' should be implemented. I have tried to pass it as a URI such as /api/v1/completeted_certificates/<canvas_id> and also as a parameter in the header such as:
headers = {
'Authorization': 'Token token="XXXXXXXXX"',
'user_id': '2998',
}Neither of these requests resulted in a valid request.
For more background: I was able to troubleshoot the subtle difference in the authentication for Catalog and the Canvas instance where Catalog API specifies 'Authorization': 'Token token="XXXXX"' and Canvas API specifies 'Authorization': 'Bearer XXXXX'.
Also, I am able to make calls to other Catalog endpoints so I am sure that it is not a domain or API key issue/typo.
If there are any developers that have experience with the Catalog API and could help me with this or let me know of a workaround that would be great!!
