Hi @James 

I am trying to get students responses from ungraded survey classic Quizzes via API, using this as url

instructure.com/api/v1/courses/" + courseID + "/quizzes/" + quiz_id + "/statistics?include[]=submission_history

or this

instructure.com/api/v1/courses/" + courseID + "/quizzes/" + quiz_id + "/statistics

I can see manually in Canvas the responses are listed under url: /courses/8141/quizzes/162015/history?quiz_submission_id=980024 

But with API there are no responses listed, looks like this: 

{
"quiz_statistics": [
{
"id": "2588",
"url": "https://X.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/8141/quizzes/162015/statistics",

Was your first request a POST or a GET? It has to be a POST.

The string[] on the documentation says that it is a string array and there's a note that says it's JSON-API only.

POST commands are rarely made with a command line and it's definitely not JSON when you do.

That said, if I make a POST and leave off the include=file, the report generation begins and I get what I need to finish.

Here is an abbreviated version of the output.

{
  "id": 1640643,
  "report_type": "student_analysis",
  "readable_type": "Student Analysis",
  "url": "... /quizzes/11385725/reports/1640643",
  "progress_url": "... /api/v1/progress/51792053",
  "quiz_id": 11385725
}

Now, if I use a GET on the URL that it gives me, which is an API request, it gives me the file information. I don't need to use include=file. I don't think it does this until the report is ready, There is a progress url in there where you can check to make sure it's done, but this was a small class and I'm a slow typist.

The file URL it gives is not an API call -- do not include the credentials.
