Fetching Marks for a course through API endpoint

[RPAProd]

Hi All,

I'm looking for an endpoint where I can fetch 'Marks' for a certain course. I'm kind of looking where I can pass  a course id and fetch the marks for all the students in that course through API. We're building an automation project this way of fetching data can be really helpful.

I've tried multiple Live API but no luck. Can anyone please help out in this regard.

Hello,

If by marks you mean points for an assignment you'll find it in the submissions object: https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/submissions.html

If you're looking for the total points a student has in a course or their "final grade" or something along those lines, look in the enrollments object: https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/enrollments.html

If you're using enrollments, you may want to check out the thread I posted yesterday - I was also having trouble finding it, but there's a really good comment there that explains some details.

I think your thread from yesterday is the one I was just reading 🙂

Hi Michael,

This endpoint helped me a lot and solved my problem. But i have one more question. I'm using this endpoint '

/v1/sections/{section_id}/assignments/{assignment_id}/submissions

but in the result I'm getting only for 10 students even though there are more than 30 students , in order to get entire result is there any other setting i need to do? or any extra parameter need to be passed?

Please request kindly help on this.

Hi @RPAProd,

While the suggestion by @agschmid to add ?per_page=100 to your URL will generally work to get up to 100 results, you'll probably want to review the pagination document to learn in general how to ensure you get all results for any API call, even if there are more than 100.  I'll also say that while you can usually specify up to 100 results per page in calls right now, that's subject to change at any time in the future.  As an example, Instructure just this morning announced some changes to GraphQL API calls, changing limits on what is returned from those calls.

Hope this helps!

If it's not a pagination issue (ie. add "?per_page=100") it might happen because of student status. I'm pretty sure this call won't return data on students who have concluded the course or who are set to inactive, but I might be wrong.

Add ?per_page=100 to your endpoint
