Extract Quizzes' Student Analysis through R with Canvas API

[YulinS]

How can I extract Quizzes' Student Analysis through R with Canvas API? I want quiz questions, student answers, and their scores.

I'm having trouble finding the right tools in packages 'vvcanvas' and 'rcanvas'. I don't know if there is a tool associated with this request.

@YulinS Welcome to the community!

I'm not super familiar with R (last time I used it was in college many many moons ago), however, if there's not a library that implements the Canvas API you can implement the calls yourself. The Canvas API is a REST API and as long as you have familiarity with HTTP calls in R you should be able to interact with the API. 

The Quizzes API can help with what you need regarding quiz questions and answers 🙂

Hope this helps!

For clarification, are you using New Quizzes or Classic Quizzes?  While there are Canvas API endpoints to retrieve student submission data for Classic Quizzes, we are still waiting on similar endpoints for New Quizzes.

Also, it looks like those packages are custom developments that Canvas Community members shared.  It may be good to reach out to the original creators to see if it is a feature they would be willing to add to their packages.
