I've been at this for the past 5 hours... I'm trying to upload questions from a JSON file to Canvas via Canvas' API, but all I can get is a blank, dummy-placeholder question. I am using cURL. Below is my JSON, cURL command, and output. What am I doing wrong!?       { "question": { "question_name": "Question 1", "question_text": "question text goes here", "question_type": "multiple_choice_question", "points_possible": 10, "answers": { "0": { "answer_text": "answer 1", "answer_weight": 0 }, "1": { "answer_text": "answer 2", "answer_weight": 0 }, "2": { "answer_text": "answer 3", "answer_weight": 0 }, "3": { "answer_text": "answer 4", "answer_weight": 100 } } } } curl 'https://uc.instructure.com/api/v1/courses/1450168/quizzes/4569831/questions/' -H 'Authorization: Bearer MY_SUPER_SECRET_ACCESS_TOKEN' -d '@/Desktop/test.json' -H "Accept: application/json Content-Type: application/json" -X POST       Output in Terminal:     {"id":62578744,"quiz_id":4569831,"quiz_group_id":null,"assessment_question_id":null,"position":null,"question_name":"Question","question_type":"text_only_question","question_text":"Question text","points_possible":0,"correct_comments":"","incorrect_comments":"","neutral_comments":"","correct_comments_html":"","incorrect_comments_html":"","neutral_comments_html":"","answers":[],"variables":null,"formulas":null,"answer_tolerance":null,"formula_decimal_places":null,"matches":null,"matching_answer_incorrect_matches":null,"assessment_question":null}%       ...

Hello community!  I am making an API call to Pages and pulling the default 10 pages no problem. However, when I try to add the "per_page=" parameter I get a 401 error in the console! What's strange is that if I copy and paste the entire API URL into the omnibar, the call is made without issue and I can see all the pages - published and unpublished. What am I doing wrong? Here is my code for reference: var modules = { "url": "[my institution instance]/api/v1/courses/sis_course_id:" + CourseID +"/pages?per_page=30?access_token=" + API_Key, } $.ajax(modules).done(function (response) { console.log(response); $("#Modulepages").append("<h2>Modules </h2><br>") for (i=0; i<50 i++){ var content = response[i].title; $("#Modulepages").append(content + "<br>"); } }) ...

I am trying to make GET calls to Canvas but when I try to get the data using the sis_course_id: it doesn't work - I get a 404 error. However, if I replace the sis_course_id: with the numerical ID number Canvas automatically generates then the call is made without issue. Any ideas what I'm possibly doing wrong? Right now I'm just trying to log the data in the Console before I try to inject it into my HTML document.  Doesn't Work: https://[my_domain]/api/v1/courses/sis_course_id:[sis_ course_ID]?access_token=[my_access_token] Does Work: https://[my_domain]/api/v1/courses/[numerical_Course_ID]?access_token=[my_access_token]  Here's my code: <script> function courseSearchID(){     var x = document.getElementById("courseName").value;     console.log(x);     fetch('https://[my_domain]/api/v1/courses/sis_course_id:[sis_ course_ID]?access_token=[my_access_token]")         .then(response => response.json())         .then(json => console.log(json))     }; </script> ...
