How to get all Courses in EnrollmentTerm via API?

[nbpenn]

Hi - is there a way to get all Courses of an EnrollmentTerm through the api, either through REST or GraphQL? 

In the GraphQL ui, for `allCourses` - there doesn't seem to be a way to apply a filter, something like:

```
query CoursesByTermQuery {
   allCourses(filter: {term: [enrollmentTermId]})
...
```

The REST Search API, returns course listings, seems to only be applying the `search=[search term]` to the Name of the Course - is there a way to pass in an argument to search by EnrollmentTerm id?

The EnrollmentTerm API can `include[]` a `course_count` but not the actual courses? 

There seems like there are some different options to access the Courses, but I'm not seeing anything that allows filters on the Course `term_id` property specifically.

Maybe I'm missing something in the docs..?

Thanks for any thoughts

Hi @nbpenn,

The list active courses in an account API should be the one you need for this task.  You can supply the enrollment_term_id as a parameter to get results for a specified term (I use this call quite frequently with the term specified).

I hope this helps!

Thanks @chriscas  - that's exactly what I was looking for - works like a charm

I do find it odd that that functionality is found through the Accounts API and not the Course API, but I'm still learning my way around the API Resources - thanks again

Depending on what information desired, you can use the term record for graphql and the coursesConnection under that to get a list of courses for a specific term. This is what I’ve been using recently.

The allCourses is scoped to the user, so it’s just your courses, not all of them.
