Brightspace Awards API - mass download all issued badges or certificates?

Andy.R.9906

I'm trying to use Postman to write some Python to batch download all Awards issued organization-wide. I *think* that I'd need to make a GET call to https://{{BrightspaceDomain}}/d2l/api/bas/{{version}}/library/templates (no parameters) to get the full list of certificate templates that can be issued. I make that call but am getting a 404, which does not line up with any of the response codes listed for that call. Am I misreading the address of the endpoint, or doing something a little less intelligent? Thanks in advance.

Hi Andy.R,

Are you looking to generate awards and download them, as in the .pdf certificate or badge? Or are you after the Awards Issued data?

All ot the Award/Awards Issued data is captured in the following data sets:

• Advanced Data Set - Awards Issued
• https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/4520-awards-data-sets

The GET /d2l/api/bas/(version)/library/templates/ call will only return a list of certificate templates contained in the library. The certificate templates are a configuration option when creating an Award. The award can then issued in a course offering i.e. create an award using the selected certificate, share the award to a course offering, issue the award to a user in the course offering classlist. See the following resource for additional context https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3473-create-and-manage-awards

Hope that helps!

@Andy.R.9906 Did you make progress with lookup and generation (for download) of the certificates?
