We are working on an API to create Attendance and Grades of all the students. We are unable to the find proper API Endpoints for these. Any help is appreciated
Hi Venkata,
Currently there are no dedicated Valence API's for directly creating, updating or retrieving Attendance Registers and attendance records. However, AttendanceRegisters can be copied as a course component using the API or via the UI. See https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/course.html#copying-courses
Access to Attendance related DataSets is available from the DataHub and via Data Export API. See https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/4519-attendance-data-sets
The Grades API reference is available at https://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/grade.html This resource also includes reference to the scopes required to depending on the endpoint you are attempting to access. Scopes include: grades:gradeobjects:read, grades:gradeobjects:write, grades:gradevalues:read and grades:gradevalues:write
grades:gradeobjects:read
grades:gradeobjects:write
grades:gradevalues:read
grades:gradevalues:write
Hope this helps!
Thanks for explaining in detail. For the attendance part, we want to access the logins count under courseadmin→ClassProgress→StudentName→LoginHistory→Logins
I hope you are doing well
Unfortunately, Brightspace does not have a dedicated endpoint that returns a direct login count for a user. However, we can retrieve the same data using the User Tracking Logs endpoint, which returns a list of all login/access events for a specific user within a date range. You can then check the response entries to get the total number of logins for that period.
Endpoint:
GET /d2l/api/lp/1.61/users/{userId}/usertrackinglogs/?startDateTime=2026-07-01T00:00:00.000Z&endDateTime=2026-07-31T23:59:59.999Z
A few notes:
{userId}
startDateTime
endDateTime
yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.fffZ
Please let us know if you have any questions or need further assistance!
Best regards,
Victor
