Class information from API

[jesseditson]

Hello there!

I was looking to group exercises/students by class, but can't seem to find that information in the API. My account has multiple classes, but I can't find any distinction or class IDs when requesting classes and students.

Is this information available via the API? If not, how would you suggest getting information for only a single class?

Hello! It is definitely the case that if you go to https://www.khanacademy.org/coach/reports/progress-by-student, you can press the Download link to get the information you're looking for (what class each student is in). I'm looking into whether there's a straightforward way to get it from the API now.

Thanks for looking in to this! Looks like I typod above, I meant when requesting exercises and students.

What I'm attempting to do is to get a list of my students and their exercises, that I can then filter by class.

Right now, I have the following:

• all of my students (but no way to see which class(es) they are in)
• all of the exercises in all of my classes (but no way to see which class(es) they belong to)

What I'd like to be able to do, is see a list of students & their respective exercises that I can filter by class - in an ideal world, I'd be able to call something like:

/api/v1/user/classes - a list of my classes, with a list of exercise ids that are in that class
/api/v1/user/students - same as the existing endpoint, but each student has a list of class ids they are in (just the ones I teach obviously)

Alternatively, /api/v1/user/classes could also contain a list of user ids that are my students in this class. In either case, I'm just looking for a Student <> Class association and a Exercise <> Class association.

Hey! Just wanted to check back in to see if this type of query is possible or planned - if not I can build it out on my side, but given that the associations already exist in the khan dbs, if this was available it'd save me a bunch of work!

@jesseditson -- How did you get "all your students"? I've been chasing this via StackOverflow!

Hey @jfeldstein! I just wrote up a fairly comprehensive answer on your SO question, given that it'll have more longevity than this issue for future readers. You can check it out here, LMK if there's anything else I might be able to clarify.
