Batch Export/Download Quizzes from Multiple Schools During a Time Period

[kc800]

Is there a way to use the Canvas API to batch download multiple quizzes from multiple schools and courses for a custom time period?

Hi @kc800,

Can you clarify what you mean by "download quizzes"?  Are you referring to downloading the quizzes themselves as a QTI file (more commonly called exporting in Canvas), student submissions of quizzes, or something else entirely?

With that clarity, someone might be able to provide some guidance.

Hi @chriscas,

Yes, we manage multiple schools, in two courses with 3 sets of quizzes that we use for student feedback. E.g. 

School 1 - First Course - Quiz 1, 2, 3

School 1 - Second Course - Quiz 1, 2, 3

We especially want to get their commented feedback which is in the quiz. We were told you can only manually download quizzes as a CSV file to get commented feedback and wanted to know if by using the Canvas API, could we set up a script to batch download multiple quizzes from multiple schools and courses for the past 6 months? I'm asking because we want to connect the Canvas API to Qlik and get this feedback loaded there.

Hi @chriscas,

We're currently manually exporting each quiz by hand. We have multiple schools with courses and quizzes and this isn't scaleable. Do you happen to know if there's a way to batch download in CSV or similar format multiple quizzes for a specific time frame for multiple schools and courses? 

Thank you in advance!
