description: 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's primary supported integration surface. Implements the
    1EdTech LTI 1.3 / LTI Advantage standard, including Names and Role Provisioning
    Services (NRPS) for roster sync, Assignment and Grade Services (AGS) for
    gradebook column creation and grade passback, and Deep Linking for creating
    Gradescope assignments from within an LMS. Endpoints are negotiated per LMS
    tool deployment rather than exposed as a fixed first-party REST API.

  description: Course and roster data. Gradescope does not expose a generally

    provisioning happens through LTI 1.3 NRPS during LMS sync. A first-party
    public API for course access is a documented feature request but is not yet

  description: Assignment configuration and the autograder framework for code
    assignments. The documented programmatic contract is a Docker-based autograder
    that reads student submissions and emits a results.json file (via the
    gradescope-utils Python package); there is no generally available public REST
    endpoint for creating or listing assignments. Assignment creation from an LMS
    is supported via LTI Deep Linking.

    capability is part of the published public-API feature request.
