Gradescope

Gradescope, a Turnitin company, is an assessment and grading platform for paper-based, digital, and code assignments used across higher education and K-12. It does not publish a generally available public REST API; programmatic integration is delivered through LTI 1.3 / LTI Advantage (roster and grade sync with Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace/D2L, Moodle, and Sakai) and a documented autograder framework for code assignments. A first-party public API for courses, assignments, submissions, and grades is a published feature request but is not yet generally available.

  description: Gradescope, a Turnitin company, does not publish a generally available public REST API. This collection contains
    no callable requests because no first-party REST endpoints are documented. Programmatic integration is delivered through
    LTI 1.3 / LTI Advantage (roster sync via NRPS, grade passback via AGS, Deep Linking) and the Docker-based autograder framework
    (results.json contract, gradescope-utils). A first-party public API for courses, assignments, submissions, and grades
    is a documented feature request but is not yet generally available.

    docs: 'Gradescope implements 1EdTech LTI 1.3 with LTI Advantage services: Names and Role Provisioning Services (NRPS)
      for roster sync, Assignment and Grade Services (AGS) for gradebook columns and grade passback, and Deep Linking for
      assignment creation from an LMS (Canvas, Blackboard, Brightspace/D2L, Moodle, Sakai). Service endpoints belong to the
      LTI standard and the connected LMS deployment, not a fixed Gradescope REST surface. Reference: https://guides.gradescope.com/hc/en-us/articles/21746234461197-LTI-1-3-and-Advantage-FAQ'
