Archiving Courses in Google Clasroom Programmatically

Is there any way to programmatically archive courses in Google Classroom through the API?

I have some sample code from Google on updating specific fields. Could I just use this code and substitute whichever field indicates 'Archived' to this?

string courseId = "123456";
var course = new Course
{
    Section = "Period 3",
    Room = "302"
};

var request = service.Courses.Patch(course, courseId);
request.UpdateMask = "section,room";
course = request.Execute();
Console.WriteLine("Course '{0}' updated.\n", course.Name);

course = service.Courses.Update(course, courseId).Execute();
Console.WriteLine("Course '{0}' updated.\n", course.Name);

Thank you

Solution

  • Try using update() and update the courseStates to Archived. This will make the course to be archived. Note that you cannot modify it except to change it to a different state.

    Sample Request

    Request parameters

    id = 1234567890

    Request body

    {
  "courseState": "ARCHIVED",
  "name": "Test Course"
}

    Hope this helps.
