Does Canvas have these Discussion Topic Participants & Discussion Entry Participants as separate entities?

[ManojBhosale]

We have endpoints for Discussion Topics and Discussion Entries in Discussion Topics - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation (instructure.com) doc. But we are not able to find any endpoint or details about Discussion Topic Participants and Discussion Entry Participants in Discussion Topics - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation (instructure.com). Can you please look into this and can confirm us about the specific endpoints related to these two entities?

Hi @ManojBhosale,

You should be able to use the List Entries and List Entry Replies together to get a list of all the discussion items (which includes the id and username of the poster).  You can then list iterate through those entries to create a pared down participant list if you wish, using the Users API if you need to fetch additional information about each user by looking up the user id.  I'm not aware of an easier way to wi this with the REST API, but there's always a chance someone else with more knowledge will reply with other methods.

Hope this helps a bit!
