Getting exception while adding assignments

[ghanshyamkulkar]

I'm trying to add the assignment using the API but getting below error,

URL:  POST https://xxx.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/891/assignments/1515/submissions

Invalid submission[submission_type] given. I used the below body,

submission[submission_type]:'online_text_entry'
submission[user_id]:311
submission[body]: "",

I'm passing the lifetime access token to this URL, Could you please help me here? GET API is Woking fine.

Hi @ghanshyamkulkar,

I have mot tried to use the API to make an assignment submission before, but my thought is that perhaps the submission type you're trying to make doesn't match the assignment configuration (maybe you're trying to make a text submission to a file upload assignment, for example).
