API to retrieve ALL Quizzes (Classic and New)

[PaulJanzen]

I am looking for an API way to retrieve all of the Quizzes (Classic and New) from a Course. I am quite certain that I can do so using the Assignments API endpoint. But I want to make sure that this is the correct approach. Will this approach always include ALL quizzes (plus other assignment types)?

[I fully understand that New Quizzes are not yet fully supported in the Canvas API]

Unfortunately, there is not currently an API call for retrieving all the Quizzes (both New and Classic) in Canvas.  As you mentioned, the New Quizzes are not currently supported by the Canvas API.  Using the List Assignments API  would be the provided the closest means of achieving your desired results.  You would then need to filter through those results to gather the New Quizzes.  You would use the List Quizzes API to pull the Classic Quizzes in the course;  Classic Quizzes are not included in the List Assignments API, so both steps would have to be taken to access determine all the quizzes in the course.

Nicolette, does using the List Quizzes API require a case by case use on individual courses, or would we be able to identify all the Classic quizzes in every course in our instance with one pull? We're gearing up for an institution-wide transition to New Quizzes and among our initial discovery steps is a desire to identify all the quizzes we will need to migrate. It would be awesome if we could pull a report to find these (feature idea?), but also pretty good if we could accumulate this data with an API, while avoiding the need to run through every course one by one (or visually).
