• API calls to Dropbox - file naming

• Non-user authentication for quiz APIs?

  Hello, We'd like to use an API to pull information about available quizzes, for the purposes of an administrator being able to set up tool configuration for existing quizzes.

• Is it possible to filter enrollments by term?
