Retrieve the submission for a selected student

Question

The API provides an end point to retrieve information about all submissions to a selected assignment folder (dropbox)

GET /d2l/api/le/(version)/(orgUnitId)/dropbox/folders/(folderId)/submissions/

It does not include a parameter to provide a userId to only retrieve the information for a specific student and so you have to retrieve all, loop through them until you find the student you are looking for. Is there an other API end point to retrieve the submission information for a specific student?

Hi @Arald.d.320

Thank you for the question. Based on our API reference, we do not currently offer an API endpoint to retrieve a specific user's submission. However, our development teams are aware of this limitation and are actively considering it for inclusion in future roadmap updates.

In the meantime, we recommend switching to the paged API call, which can significantly improve average performance by reducing the volume of data returned per request.

Let us know if you have any further questions.
