[ARCHIVED] Enrollment API... 404?

[samson_chung]

Hi all,

I was looking at this api call here.

Enrollments - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation 

I am getting a 404 on POST but if I switch it over to GET, it works...

Anyone experienced similar problems?

Thanks in advance,

Were you using a script? A specific API library? Or just working with cURL or Postman? A little more context would help diagnose the issue.

I was in Postman, attempting to test out the endpoint for adding an enrollment into a course before adding it to my program.

Can you share your full request? I know it isn't helpful to hear, but I was able to test that endpoint with both required parameters in a query and as a JSON payload.

This is from our beta environment.

https://uoit.beta.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/sis_course_id:samson.chung-sb/enrollments

In postman, I have the Bearer token set properly, I was able to create that course via the course creation endpoint.

the parameters were added into the body as form-data, with the two required fields.

The problem is, I kept on getting 404 error not found.

I've tried the actual pk of the course in the URL, it is still not found.

I just find that so weird..... its as if the endpoint is not there for my system...... However, if I switch the system to GET, it works perfectly fine....

Problem solved, it was one of the parameters I have inputted. It is the wrong sis id type....
