while trying Canvas Rest API to post question Getting 404

[ManishGoyal]

I am trying to call canvas rest API to post quiz questions. but it is giving me the following error.

{

    "errors": [

        {

            "message": "The specified resource does not exist."

        }

    ]

}

I already double-checked my course ID and quiz id both exist.

If anyone knows please help me with this.

In my experience the API defaults to this error message due to many other reasons than the "resource not existing". It's difficult to troubleshoot specifically what's causing the issue on your end without direct access, but make sure you check the entire API call - you might have mistyped something beyond the course/quiz ID. I imagine you have quite a lot of parameters in play so even if you have some software to help you author the API call, it may make tiny mistakes - and any of them could result in this error message.
