There are some important differences between the Graph and User API when it comes to submissions and student work which are described below.

Graph API

Updating

Submitting student work, reclaiming and/or returning submission are all accomplished through a PATCH request to either following endpoints:

https://ed.link/api/v2/graph/classes/:class_id/assignments/:assignment_id/submissions/:submission_id
https://ed.link/api/v2/graph/classes/:class_id/assignments/:assignment_id/submissions/:person_id

For more details take a look the following documentation.

Fetching

Submission objects returned by the Graph API have an attachments property whose value is the latest student work submitted.

Just like for updating you can append a person ID instead of a submission ID to the fetch endpoint i.e:

GET https://ed.link/api/v2/graph/classes/:class_id/assignments/:assignment_id/submissions/:person_id

For more details take a look the following documentation.

User API
