bulk upload users to Canvas Commons Group

[julielkz]

We are trying to add 3000+ users in a Commons group. 

From the API doc: 

curl -X POST -H "X-Session-ID: 0123456789" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data @data.json "https://lor.instructure.com/api/groups/1234/members"

data.json: { "userId": "4LjxagScJoIlBACBRTI1XLXzCtTRn1CPDBLhWPEP:canvas-lmsf1ca849dd34eaef8040de8ffa7fe7fd5983e57e2", "isManager": true }

I can add one user, how can I add more than one user? What is the easiest way to find all of the userId? I used developer kit to find the userId for the indivisua. 

thanks

SIS Id's can be used instead of using the canvas ones.

Object IDs, SIS IDs, and special IDs - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation 

SIS_user_id

"userId": "SIS_user_id:123456",

To create more than one, run the POST call 3000+ times,  usually PHP: foreach - Manual a loop in a csv file of userid's.
