Disassociating courses from a blueprint with API

[alunsfor]

We have a curriculum that we use for my online courses that comes to us as Blueprint Courses.  I usually create a sandbox course for each of the courses we use so the teachers can take the content from the blueprint course and rearrange so it matches our curriculum maps. Instead of going through and creating another set of 80 sandbox courses for the teachers for the teachers for the summer I would just like to disassociate their current courses with the blue print courses.  I have a list of their course ids and the course ids for the blue print course, however, when I look at the API documentation I have found in the API documentation the following

PUT /v1/courses/{course_id}/blueprint_templates/{template_id}/update_associations

My blueprint course is 39323 and the associated course is 39423. 

However, when i run the call I am getting a 404 the resource can not be found.  I have tried the course numbers in different arrangements but can't get it to work.  I would like to get this to work so that I can then run for multiple courses using Postman.

Any suggestions would be great!

@alunsfor, 

Have you tried the following?

The blueprint course ID for the course_id field (39323)

default for the template_id

The associated course ID for the course_ids_to_remove (39423)

Thank you James.  That worked.  I am still learning APIs so this helps.

You're welcome 😀 I'm glad you got it working now.  The information about using "default" for the template_id is a bit hidden in the documentation.

My next step is to reset the content for each of the courses. I noticed in the documentation that the Reset API call basically deletes the course and creates a new one.  Is there a way to just reset the content without it deleting the course and then creating a new course?
