Feature Request: API/Webhook Access for Interfacing with Subject Content #100

@ghost

Description

I would like to request the development and implementation of a feature that allows users to interact with the content of each subscribed subject in Eclass through an API or webhook. This feature would enable external systems or software to retrieve and interface with subject content, facilitating integration with third-party applications or custom tools.

Feature Details:

  1. API Access:

Provide an API endpoint that allows authorized users to access the content of the subjects they are subscribed to.

The API should allow querying the following data for each subject:

  • Course material (documents, videos, PDFs, etc.)
  • Announcements and news
  • Assignments and quizzes
  • Discussion threads or forums (if applicable)
  • Grades and feedback (if allowed by permissions)
  • Any other relevant data specific to a subject

The API should support various methods such as:

  1. GET for fetching content.
  2. POST for sending or updating data (if applicable).
  3. DELETE to remove specific content (if applicable).

Authentication should be handled using secure methods such as OAuth2 or API keys to ensure data privacy and security.

  1. Webhook Support:

Implement webhook functionality that allows users to subscribe to specific events related to their subjects.

Webhooks should trigger on specific actions, such as:

  1. New content being added to a subject (e.g., new assignment or study material).
  2. Announcements or updates posted by the course instructor.
  3. Assignment submission deadlines approaching.
  4. Grades or feedback being released.

Webhooks should be customizable to send data to an external URL or system in a predefined format (JSON, XML, etc.).
