API Code to recognize the maximum number of allowed attempts

[DanielFandiño]

Hi everyone, 

We are using the Grade Services API, and we need to identify the error: "422 The maximum number of allowed attempts has been reached for this submission" in our api calls, so exists a better way to identify this error, different from just verify the 422 code?, the code already uses for other types of errors:

422	This course has concluded. AGS requests will no longer be accepted for this course.	Reopen the specified course or stop sending requests for this course	Only returned if the ags_improved_course_concluded_response_codes feature flag is enabled
422	User not found in course or is not a student	Ensure the user you're specifying exists or is a student
422	ScoreMaximum must be greater than or equal to 0	Ensure you're passing a valid value for ScoreMaximum
422	ScoreMaximum not supplied when ScoreGiven present	Ensure you're providing a ScoreMaximum in any request with a ScoreGiven
422	Content items must be provided with submission type 'online_upload'	Ensure you specify the correct submission type when providing submission files
422	The maximum number of allowed attempts has been reached for this submission	Add additional attempts or stop sending submission requests for the specified student

I'll appreciate your suggestions!

I don't use grade passback, so let me offer some general ideas with the caveat that none may be helpful.

Does the HTTP Response statusText property contain the message? 422 is a HTTP Response code and it's contained in the status property. The statusText is supposed to include a more human-friendly form.

The error message returned by Canvas should give an indication of the problem. The SIS Error Code Dictionary makes it look like you should be able to use the message property of the response field.

Canvas has a SIS Resources page, which includes the SIS Error Code Dictionary, and guides for many SISs. You may be able to find something specific to your SIS there.

I also found this thread Gradepassback Error Codes in the Community. The message from @MrReed on August 30, 2021, has links to other resources including a nice slideshow with videos explaining things for Infinite Campus.
