APIs
Summary
This section provides technical details for LearningBuilder's APIs.
See also: Integrations with External Systems for a higher-level view of 3rd party integrations that are supported as first-class features of the system.
NOTE: Field names in these APIs are case-sensitive. Attribute names must be capitalized in the payload exactly as they are configured in LearningBuilder or in the Documentation.
As always, feel free to reach out to your Support Analyst should you need assistance working with these APIs.
Authentication and Authorization
Unless otherwise noted, all APIs use API Keys for both authentication and authorization.
API Listing
| Category | API | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Activities | API/ActivityInstance/GetOrCreate | Returns a pointer to an existing Activity Instance matching some criteria, or creates a new one. |
| Activities | API/ActivityQuickAdd/Post ( Experimental) | Given an Activity Number and a Member Id, creates a new Activity Instance and adds it to a Learning Plan Instance that can support it. If more than one "candidate" is found, e.g. more than one place that the new Activity could go, then a list of candidates is returned. Caller can re-submit with additional information to specify which candidate to use. |
| Applications | API/LearningPlanInstance/GetOrCreate | Returns a pointer to an existing Learning Plan Instance matching some criteria, or creates a new one. |
