Is there any working API endpoint to access and manage Question Banks?
I need to:
List all question banks in a course
View all questions within those banks
Every endpoint I've tried returns 404 or empty responses, including:
/api/v1/courses/[course_id]/question_banks
/api/v1/courses/[course_id]/quizzes/question_banks
/api/v1/courses/[course_id]/quizzes/[quiz_id]/questions endpoints return [] even when questions exist
The web interface shows the question banks and questions exist. Are these API features deprecated? Is there an alternative method?
Greetings!!
Where did you see those "question_banks" API endpoints mentioned? They are not listed in Canvas LMS REST API Documentation.
As far as I know, the API can't access question banks, and even question groups are a bit tough to deal with (they need to have at least 1 question in them for the API to find them).
Note that ChatGPT does hallucinate and create API endpoints when they "should" exist, even if they do not.
Yes, my mistake. I tried using AI, checked canvas api documentation, and read several forum posts. I found a few that seemed like solutions, but none of them worked for me.
