Attempting to update a FinalAdjustedGradeValue in Python.

Donny.S.364

I updated the Scope for my OAuth 2.0 application-

Scopecore:: datahub:dataexports:* grades:gradevalues:write

After getting my refresh token I have a simple post request which returns a 403 error - permission denied.

    response = requests.post(

        'https://my.d2lserver.com/d2l/api/le/1.39/1234/grades/final/values/111',

        json={

            'PointsNumerator': 97,

            'PointsDenominator': 100

        },

        auth=HTTPBasicAuth('my_client_id', 'my_client_secret')

    )

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

According to the docs this API point is PUT not POST. Then make sure you authenticate the app with at least instructor role.

Ahhh.. thank you. Still getting the same error. I'm using oAuth2 so I thought just the 'Scope' was needed.

Does the final adjusted grade need to exist already or can I set it if the grade does not exist?

you should use authorization bearer access token in the header not the auth basic

Getting much closer I think - I also found I needed to update the scope in my JSON file that keeps the last refresh token.

Now I have this code -

    response = requests.put(

        'https://my.d2lserver.com/d2l/api/le/1.39/9132/grades/final/values/310',

        json={

            'PointsNumerator': 97,

            'PointsDenominator': 100

        },

        headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer longtokengoeshere'}

    )

I'm getting a new error - 404

• 404 Not Found – No such user in org unit, or no org unit found.

I'm sure the course offering is there and the user is in it… there are no grades or anything for the user in the course. I'm wondering if there is some nuance - maybe a final grade has to be issued ?

Your request calls to update the FinalAdjustedGradeValue. The 404 you get means you don't have it.

Mike.S.974

Try a GET request with the query string '?gradeType=adjusted' to check

Donny.S.364

ok, yeah. The grade is not there. So this is an update. I'd need to create the grade in order to be able to update it?
