What is the proper format for making an AJAX PUT request?

I am trying to make an API call to set a specific Grade Value for a Learner. Here is the ajax call I am making to try and accomplish this.

 

$.ajax({

      url: '/d2l/api/le/1.26/6711/grades/319/values/184',

      type: 'PUT',

      data: {

        "Comments": { "Content": "", "Type": "Text" },

        "PrivateComments": { "Content": "", "Type": "Text" },

        "GradeObjectType": 3,

        "Value": "Late"

      }

    });

 

The response from this call is always a 403 Forbidden Error. The message that comes with this error is 'Forbidden'. One question within the community focused on permissions issues being the culprit. I do not believe that is the case here. I am accessing the site as a Super Administrator. When I impersonate a Learner on this same page, I instead get a 403 Forbidden - Not Authorized message.

 

The other question I saw in the community mentioned that you must include the correct values in the data being sent. As you can see, I have emulated the structure of that question and the API Documentation, including the Comments and PrivateComments along with the GradeObjectType and Value.

 

I have tried making the call with quotes around the parameter names and without quotes. I have tried encapsulating it all in a GradeValue object, and without. I have tried with JSON.stringify and without, and every combination of the above things I could imagine. Still, I get a 403 Forbidden - Forbidden message.

 

I even took a detour. I successfully used GET to acquire the users ActivationData, then tried to PUT the exact same data back. The GET was successful, and the PUT gave 403 Forbidden - Forbidden.

 

$.ajax({

      url: LPBaseRoute + '/users/' + 377 + '/activation',

      type: 'GET'

    }).done(function (returnedValue) {

      $.ajax({

        url: LPBaseRoute + '/users/' + 377 + '/activation',

        type: 'PUT',

        data: returnedValue

      });

    });

 

What am I doing wrong?
