Course Files API - Public Files management

Question

I was wondering if it's possible to use the Course Files API to interact with Public Files (such as those available under /shared)? I have a use-case that would benefit from being able to programmatically delete/create/update files in that area, and my initial testing suggests that the Course Files API doesn't see files under that directory, even when using the root-level Org ID.

Thank you for your quick response! I will submit a PIE request now.

Additionally, I'm having difficulty with the existing Course Files API. Is this the right space to request support, or should I create a new question?

Hi Connor,

Thank you for your question.

In the current version of Brightspace(LE) the ability to manage Public Files through API does not exist.

I kindly request you submit this as a feature request in Product Idea Exchange.

Nik
