[ARCHIVED] How to query all quiz grades for a student?

[spaldinglatham]

I have instructor privileges in Canvas and I'm looking for a way to query every quiz grade from certain students in my class. I'm just getting started with the Canvas API, so any advice or direction would be great. Ultimately, I want to be able to make a call and get output similar to this:

Student 1: Quiz 1 (90) Quiz 2 (90) Quiz 3 (80) 

I have a course with thousands of students, and searching through them all on Canvas is super slow, so I'd like to be able to make a quick API call when I'm meeting with a student.

 @spaldinglatham , greetings! Due to the technical nature of this question, I've shared it with the Canvas Developers‌ group in the Community to see if they can help.

The data will come in JSON format, you'll need to display it as desired.

I would recommend the List submissions for multiple assignments endpoint of the Submissions API.

GET /api/v1/courses/:course_id/students/submissions?student_ids[]=:student_id&per_page=100

This will return all submissions for a student, up to 100 submissions. If you have more than 100 assignments, it will require pagination. You will need to replace :course_id and :student_id with the appropriate numbers.
