[ARCHIVED] Get course-level assignment data

[subintraj]

Hi - I am fairly new to API world. But when I saw my kids online classes runs on Canvas and when read about APIs tried my luck to see if I can do something as part of my hobby.

I was trying to fetch my kid's data from this api Get course level assignment data but getting below mentioned error.

API URL: 

https://dummy/api/v1/courses/11285/analytics/assignments

{
"status": "unauthorized",
"errors": [
{
"message": "user not authorized to perform that action"
}
]

Does anyone know inspite of giving the right course id and url, why we still get this error?

I am not sure what access observers have through API in general, however what you do have access to will be displayed on the screen when you log into canvas.  The API cannot, and should not, give you access to anything beyond that.
