API PUT request help

[matt5834]

Hi -

I need to make an HTTP (XHR) PUT request that targets a particular module on my self hosted canvas install and mark it done. 

I see this in the API: 

PUT /api/v1/courses/:course_id/modules/:module_id/items/:id/done

Could someone show how I might write this using AJAX? 

Thank you!

Matt

Matt, 

I have not done it with AJAX but if you are familiar with PHP you can use the cURL library 

$access_token ="your token access token - this is obtained using 0auth";
$headers = array('Content-Type: application/json',sprintf('Authorization: Bearer %s', $access_token));

$ch = curl_init();
   // set url
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, "https://<where your canvas is located >/api/v1/courses/:course_id/modules/:module_id/items/:id/done");
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
   //return the transfer as a string
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
   curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);

$output = curl_exec($ch);

// close curl resource to free up system resources
curl_close($ch);
