Grade passback into Canvas

[scott_whitney1]

I'm using the Canvas API Live tool to test passing grades into my course.

I've checked the course id, the student id, the assignment id and all check out.

However, when I try to udpate the grade using the score endpoint, I keep getting an error with the code:

unprocessable_entity

I don't know what else to troubleshoot - I've filled in all the required fields. Could it be the timestamp?

Hi, I use "submission[posted_grade]" in "Grade or comment on a submission" under "Submissions" to change the grade of a student. Is this what you are looking to?

You definitely got me on the right track.

First I had to submit the assignment on the student's behalf.

Then in the Canvas Live API I used Submissions/Put/Grade or Comment on a submission.

It worked perfectly.
