Is there an example of the Classroom.Courses.Topics.get so I can call Classroom.Courses.CourseWork.create with an existing topicId?

问题

Our school is trying to move all coursework online. We have eight teachers adding content to one class, mostly manually rather than with a script. I have a javascript script that creates Coursework based on rows of a spreadsheet. If possible, I would like to have the topic as a string in each row of the spreadsheet of Coursework data, e.g. "Math Week 1", use Classroom.Courses.Topics.get to get the topic, then write the topicId from the topic into CourseWork.

I found code on StackOverflow to create a topic. I've tried many variations of Classroom.Courses.Topics.get but always get the error Requested entity was not found. (line 14, file "createTopics") Here are some of the methods I've tried: I previously created "fakeTopic3: using Classroom.Courses.Topics.create

   var topicName = "fakeTopic3";
   var getTopic2= Classroom.Courses.Topics.get(courseId,{name:topicName} )
   var getTopic= Classroom.Courses.Topics.get(courseId,topicName )
   var getTopic = Classroom.Courses.Topics.get({name:topicName},courseId );
   var getTopic = Classroom.Courses.Topics.get(topicName,courseId );

Answer:

You need to use courses.topics.list^[1] with the course ID to get a list of the topic IDs and then use the topic ID rather than the topic name in the courses.topics.get^[2] call.

More Information:

As explained in the documentation for the courses.topics.get method:

The request body must be empty.

So you need to supply only the course ID and the topic ID.

Example Code:

var coursesList = Classroom.Courses.list();
var topicName = "your topic's name";
var courseId = "your course's ID";
  
for (var i = 0; i < coursesList.courses.length; i++) {
  if (coursesList.courses[i].name == topicName) {
    var topicId = coursesList.courses[i].id;
    break;
  }    
}

var getTopic = Classroom.Courses.Topics.get(courseId. topicId);    

I hope this is helpful to you!
