Using GraphQL API to get a list of Assignments filtered by updated_at?

[NikhilGupta]

Hi 

I am trying to integrate my application with SIS and build a nightly job that would fetch the updated/modified assignments. I could not find an endpoint using the standard Canvas API, so was suggested to try out the Canvas GraphQL API. But there as well I could not find a way to get a list of Assignments for a course even.  If there exists a way i was hoping there would be a way to pass a timestamp parameter to compare with the updatedAt timestamp.

Could anyone please suggest how can I achieve that either by using the Canvas API or the GraphQL API?

Thanks In Advance

Hi,

You should be able to use the Assignments API (GET /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assignments) to retrieve a list of assignments for a course, but as far as I can see, there's no option built into the API for filtering on the "updated_at" value.   You'd need to retrieve all the results, then do your own filtering on the "updated_at" value after you've retrieved them.

Thank you for your response! Another follow up question - is there a way to filter based on DUE DATE?

You will probably want to retrieve all the results, then filter within your code once you have them.
