Cannot get student information from the API of a logged-in Teacher #117

Hi @23harolds,

Can you give us more information about the issue you're seeing? Which API call are you using? What response are you getting back?

23harolds commented 7 years ago

We are using the User API's. The API is requiring a log-in. We used an account of a Teacher in Khan Academy to login. Then upon making a GET request like for example: /api/v1/user/exercises?email=harold.sabanal@gmail.com, the API doesn't give any output: neither a result nor an error given that the email provided is an email addresss of a student enrolled in the class of the teacher who was authenticated during the login to the API.

Thank you so much for your help.

To what domain are you making the requests? And are you getting a status code in the response? I'm wondering if this is the same issue as #115.

23harolds commented 7 years ago

What do you mean by "To what domain"? Emails can have different domains right? Basically we have our own domain: sgen.edu.ph

I'm not getting any status code nor any response. The screen is just blank.

Sorry, what I mean is, are you hitting www.khanacademy.org/api/v1/..., or something else?

23harolds commented 7 years ago

We are hitting at http://www.southville.edu.ph/khan/ka_client.php. I tried hitting from www.khanacademy.org/api/v1/user but it returned an unauthorized error given that I am logged-in to my Khan Academy account.

Any words/suggestions from you @benjaminjkraft ? Grateful for your help.

Without knowing exactly what your code is doing it's hard to know what the issue is -- so all I can really say is to make sure you're following the instructions at https://github.com/Khan/khan-api/wiki/Khan-Academy-API-Authentication to authenticate the request. If you can give a bit more information about exactly how you're constructing and authorizing the OAuth request, we may be able to be of more assistance.
