Table of Contents

Fields

Revision Item

Field Name Description Type Required
revision_id Revision ID

A unique identifier grouping a collection of items and representing a single students submission for a single assignment.

 integer
created Created

The time the revision was submitted.

 integer
late Late

Indicates whether or not this revision was turned in late.

 integer
num_items Number of Items

The number of items associated with this revision.

 integer
draft Draft

Whether or not the revision is a draft. A user can only have one active draft, and if they have an active draft they cannot create another revision until this draft is submitted or deleted.

 integer {0,1}
body Content of Revision

The content of the Revision. This is expected in POST calls to dropbox/assignment_id/create. Otherwise it is not really used.

 string

Operations

create

The {action} parameter dictates whether a revision with files attached is created, or a revision is created from text or HTML. Files the action is {file}, creation from text/html the action is {create}.

  • file action will create a submission from file IDs passed in as file attachments

  • create action will look for a <body> attribute in the request body. When using create, keep in mind a user can only have one active revision. If they try to POST a file revision, they will be denied. Also, if the <draft> flag is not set, the API will default to submitting this revision. If you would like it saved as a draft the <draft> flag must be set to TRUE.

  • File Uploads Accepted
