Is there a way to get the first Login date and last login date of a student in a course using Valence API's?
Thanks.
No, the Valence Learning Framework APIs do not offer functionality around this sort of reporting data. If you would like to request this functionality, clients of D2L can post suggestions to the Product Ideas Exchange. (https://community.desire2learn.com/d2l/lp/navbars/1796/customlinks/external/15394)

Are there any undocumented API calls that would allow for any basic read only retrieval of quiz information within a course? We are really just trying to get number of quizzes in a course, whether it's TurnItIn enabled, etc. Thanks!
There are no Valence APIs for Quiz tools. However D2L/Brightspace does expose quizzes through its legacy SOAP API. Which is how products such as Respondus work.
There is an SDK here: https://github.com/Brightspace/d2lws-sdk
Currently, Brightspace does not support any APIs for public use around quiz collections or quiz items.
I am relatively new in using Amazon's APIs. I am trying to get Sales and Orders information for Merch by Amazon in Ruby on Rails. How can I possibly do that .I have researched a lot but unable to find any answers as Merch is a new platform, they do give developer api but for advertisement of my current products apparently. Is there any third party api or any way so I can get the sales and order's data of my Merch account in RoR. Thanks in Advance.
It is very simple what you have to do. First you must sign up for Merch via Amazon then you must list what type of business you are, i.e. education etc. Then you will have to wait for a confirmation via email as far as I can tell it should be smooth sailing from there!
Our customer wants to see a report of all their current users' last login dates, but I couldn't find a way to get that information from the current API:
http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/user.html
It's a little frustrating, because it's so easy to get this data in the UI itself:
Is there any way we can get that data through the API? Thanks!
Currently, there is no way to get this information via an API call; however, you are not the first person to inquire about this, and I suspect it's on D2L's list of improvement items for their developer platform.
I'm looking for a way to fetch the usernames of the most recently created accounts on Twitter, or alternatively search for accounts, filtered by join date.
There doesn't seem to be a built-in way of doing this in the Twitter API. Can anyone suggest an alternative method, or a way of using the API in a way that would achieve this?
I'm aiming to carry out similar research to this study, but I've only managed to estimate the average length of active accounts (by sampling live tweets via the Streaming API), as opposed to new accounts.
Many thanks, in advance!
There is no API which provides this data.
Furthermore, Twitter now uses non-sequential 64 bit IDs - so you can't just create a new user and increment their ID number.
We would like to use Valence to query grades/grade objects for students who have withdrawn from classes. Our research indicates that the student's grades for a class are not deleted, but hidden when they withdraw. We can manually view them using the D2L web interface, but would like to be able to view them using the Valence API.
Is this possible, and how?
I haven't seen anything in the Valence documentation about calls that might display withdrawn students and their objects.
thanks in advance!
Currently, the Valence Learning Framework API does not provide you access to the grades of students that are not actively enrolled in a course offering. I would encourage you to report this to Desire2Learn as a defect through your organization's Approved Support Contact or Partner Manager.
