Hi!

Using the API endpoint post   /course/v1/courses/{course_id}/lp  to add a learning plan to a course. Yes, that seems backwards. I am asked for the assignments parameter. I thought that was the course ID but that doesn’t work. Can someone help?
 


Thank you!

Mark

​@markbrumley - Not exactly familiar with this particular API, but looking at API browser I do see that the assignments are specified to be part of the body, and should be part of an array.  So, you need to remove that query param in Postman, and instead add the following JSON under the “body” tab (select the “raw” format):

{
  "assignments": [
    12
  ]
}

 

Hopefully that helps!

Hi Mark,

The assignment ID is the learning plan ID you want to add the course to. ​@rterakedis is correct that this needs to be included in the body, unlike the course_id which is included as a URL param. The assignments array in the body is required for this call.
