An API is available to retrieve a listing of courses stored in Concourse. This
is helpful for integrating Concourse with other systems to support applications
like outcomes analysis, compliance reporting, and schedule notifications.
This article covers documentation related to the initial version (v0) of the
course listing API.
Request
To retrieve JSON for a course listing, first see Retrieval under the API - General Usage article.
For the course_ids operation, you can provide any mix of search
parameters described below. You must be a system administrator to access any
course listing JSON. For example:
- /api?version=0&operation=course_ids&year=2021&template=templates
Requests can also be made programmatically by supplying your API key in the X-AUTH-KEY
request header, providing your root domain, and appending the aforementioned
path.
Response
This API produces output in a JSON format. Below is a formatted excerpt of what
you might find when retrieving JSON for a course listing.
