Enroll student into a section via Valance API

Haseeb.Ahmad99 · November 2022

I am trying to Enroll a Student into a Section using Valance API and I am getting "{\"Errors\":[{\"Message\":\"Resource Not Found\"}]}". I am sending the following: Route:"/d2l/api/lp/1.12/orgUnitId/sections/sectionId/enrollments/" (Also tried with version 1.9) Data: {"UserId":1234} I also made sure the user I am trying to enroll, was first created using Valance API too. Also read the other issue with sections enrollment and that issue was due to not having a "/" at the end but in my case its not the issue. What else can I try to debug this issue, please let me know if you know anything. Thanks in Advance

Hi @Haseeb Ahmad ,

One quick thing that you could try would be to stringify the JSON before you send it. I know there are other routes in Valence that need the JSON to be a string, and not the tangible object.

Let me know if this doesn't work!

Hi @Justin Schlumkoski

Thanks for your reply.

I tried to do that and it didn't work, I sent the following:

{\"UserId\":1234}

instead of

{"UserId":1234}

I still get the same Error.

Hi @Haseeb Ahmad,

That doesn't look fully stringified. If you're using JavaScript, it would be JSON.stringify({"UserId": 1234}). If you want to do it without a function, try sending this:

"{\"UserId\":1234}".

Hi @Justin Schlumkoski ,

Tried with "{\"UserId\":4590}" got the same result. Also I am in c# asp.net environment.

Hi there,

I foudn the cause of this issue, I was reading here https://community.brightspace.com/s/article/Recommended-Sequence-for-Creating-Users-and-Enrolling-them-into-Sections and found out for API's we have to enroll them into the offering before enrolling them into the section, once I did that it was able to enroll them with the first method.

Thanks for all your help!
