Hello everyone,

I'm currently working on integrating with the D2L Brightspace API and I'm trying to identify endpoints that provide comprehensive class progress information. Specifically, I'm looking for endpoints that can show:

  1. Overall class progress metrics
  2. Student grades across all assessment types
  3. Quiz completion and performance data
  4. Course access and engagement statistics
  5. Activity completion tracking

I've reviewed the documentation for grades, quizzes, and updates endpoints, but I'm wondering if there's a more consolidated way to retrieve this information rather than making multiple calls to different endpoints.

Is there a specific endpoint or combination of endpoints that would be most efficient for building a comprehensive class progress dashboard? Any guidance on best practices for retrieving and combining this data would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

    @Erik.E.3593 I've been working on multiple dashboards this year, student, instructor and an Admin Dashboard that is nearly complete. I have not found one API call or Data Hub file that will do it all. In nearly every report or process I have built, it has required more than one API call to get all the data I need and process it within D2L using JavaScript or Python on the desktop. You can get close using the Learner Usage Report from Data Hub with completion tracking and dates and how many activities or content have been competed in a course. But then you will need a different API call for running grades and depending on how deep you want to go with course access, you will need to run a different report for that as the Learner usage report will only have last access. If you have access to the Report Builder software, you could do all this in one file. Our college does, but I can already see that would be very difficult to build out, but it would be possible.
