Hello All,
I am trying to figure out a way to run an API that will give me all assignments, what type of assignment it is, as well as what course, and module the assignment is in, for a given term. The reasoning behind this is that I need to assign start/end dates to the assignments before I copy courses, and instead of going into each our our 300 Master Shells, I would like to run an API to get this information, and then Post a value to the start/ed/due dates.
So far I am thinking that some variation of GET /v1/courses/assignments would work to pull the information, but I want to see if there is a way to limit this to only a specific term. I do not see this parameter in the API notes. Any ideas?

jschaffer, it might help if you also post this in the Canvas Developers group in the Community. Some Canvas admins do the type of things you're talking about (personally I don't - so sorry, can't help
), but all Canvas Developers do this stuff - it's their bread and butter so to speak. ![]()
