SKY API - Update Graded Assignment

Michael Conan

In the SKY API documentation, I see a method to retrieve graded assignments for a student.

I do not see a method to update the grades for assignments, or create assignments to start with.

It appears the legacy ON APIs provide methods to create assignments and post grades.

Will this functionality be added to the SKY API, or should we consider the legacy ON APIs? Our use case is to sync assignments / grades to Blackbaud from an external system (Google Classroom).

Update: I found the migration reference which does show these methods are not available. Are there plans / timing to incorporate these method?

Yes, this work is planned for SKY API. In fact, we will be adding all On API endpoints that are still absent in SKY API. That said, it is not scheduled for the several months.

There is another option I can point out. The OneRoster API includes endpoints that get and write to the Gradebook. Including gets and puts for assignments (aka Lineitems) and grades (aka results). You don't use the SKY API auth flow for OneRoster, though (see here and here).

Hope that helps.
