Grading Forum Discussions with Associated Rubrics via API for a POC in Brightspace

Hello Developer Community,
I’m currently working on a proof of concept (POC) where I need to evaluate forum discussions using the Desire2Learn (D2L) API in Brightspace. Specifically, I want to ensure that the associated rubric criteria are applied when grading discussions.
What I’ve done so far:
I’m retrieving discussion topics and posts for a user via the following URL structure: https://discussions.api.brightspace.com/{orgUnitId}/forums/{forumId}/topics/{topicId}.
Where I need help:
1. How do I retrieve and apply rubric criteria to a discussion evaluation via API? I want to ensure rubric selections are made during grading.
2. Can rubrics be evaluated fully via the API, including setting scores for individual rubric criteria? If so, which endpoints should I use to associate the rubric evaluation with the discussion grade?
3. Are there any best practices or examples for handling rubric-based evaluations programmatically?
Any insights or code samples on integrating rubric evaluations into the grading process for forum discussions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hi @Nicholas.C.2278
Based on what I'm seeing here in our API Documentation, I don't think it's possible to evaluate a Rubric via the APIAssessments and rubrics — Developer Platform (October 2024) (desire2learn.com)
I believe it's only possible to:
- get rubrics
- get assessments
- update an assessment * I think this action pertains to something like updating the rubric associated with an assessment
