Making the course inactive in D2L using API

Is there a REST Api available for D2L which can be used to make a course inactive?

Solution

  • If it is an existing course, you can use the PUT method to Update a current course offering and set IsActive to false.

    PUT /d2l/api/lp/(D2LVERSION: version)/courses/(D2LID: orgUnitId)

    It expects the following JSON object:

    {
    "Name": "<string>",
    "Code": "<string>",
    "StartDate": "<string:UTCDateTime>|null",
    "EndDate": "<string:UTCDateTime>|null",
    "IsActive": "<boolean>"
}

    You will likely want to retrieve the course offering information first, and then modify the IsActive flag and send back the full object data.

    GET /d2l/api/lp/(D2LVERSION: version)/courses/(D2LID: orgUnitId)
