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.
