How to Add Questions to a Quiz via API (After Quiz is Created)?

Soi.C.5795

Hi everyone,

I’ve successfully created a quiz via the D2L API, and now I’m trying to add questions to that quiz programmatically.I’ve already reviewed the Valence API scopes, especially the quizzing:quiz:modify and related scopes, but I couldn’t find clear documentation or examples on how to create quiz questions and attach them to an existing quiz or endpoint create question directly.

A few things I’m trying to clarify:

• Is there a supported endpoint for creating quiz questions (e.g., multiple choice, true/false)?
• Any sample payloads, workflows, or API references that could point me in the right direction?

Any guidance or code samples would be a huge help 🙏

Thanks in advance

Hello @Soi.C.5795,

Thank you for contacting the Brightspace Community with your question. 

You are completely right, after validating and investigating further, the APIs currently only allow you to create/update a quiz’s configuration properties.

However, there is an option that might be helpful: you can import questions to your Question Library or directly to your quizzes by using a CSV file. The following article will provide all the necessary information: https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/3411-import-questions-into-the-question-library?searchString=upload%20questions#prepare-a-csv-file-for-question-import

When you click the "Upload a File" option, you'll find a template to start building your file:

I hope this information is helpful.
