You will need authorization for the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.announcements scope to make a valid call.

If unset, the scope for this method defaults to https://www.googleapis.com/auth/classroom.announcements. You can set the scope for this method like this: classroom1 --scope <scope> courses announcements-create ...

Required Scalar Argument

  • <course-id> (string)
    • Identifier of the course. This identifier can be either the Classroom-assigned identifier or an alias.

Required Request Value

The request value is a data-structure with various fields. Each field may be a simple scalar or another data-structure. In the latter case it is advised to set the field-cursor to the data-structure's field to specify values more concisely.

For example, a structure like this:

Announcement:
  alternate-link: string
  assignee-mode: string
  course-id: string
  creation-time: string
  creator-user-id: string
  id: string
  individual-students-options:
    student-ids: [string]
  scheduled-time: string
  state: string
  text: string
  update-time: string

can be set completely with the following arguments which are assumed to be executed in the given order. Note how the cursor position is adjusted to the respective structures, allowing simple field names to be used most of the time.

  • -r . alternate-link=magna
    • Absolute link to this announcement in the Classroom web UI. This is only populated if state is PUBLISHED. Read-only.
  • assignee-mode=no
    • Assignee mode of the announcement. If unspecified, the default value is ALL_STUDENTS.
  • course-id=ipsum
    • Identifier of the course. Read-only.
  • creation-time=voluptua.
    • Timestamp when this announcement was created. Read-only.
  • creator-user-id=at
    • Identifier for the user that created the announcement. Read-only.
  • id=sanctus
    • Classroom-assigned identifier of this announcement, unique per course. Read-only.

  • individual-students-options student-ids=sed

    • Identifiers for the students that have access to the coursework/announcement.
    • Each invocation of this argument appends the given value to the array.

  • .. scheduled-time=amet.

    • Optional timestamp when this announcement is scheduled to be published.
  • state=takimata
    • Status of this announcement. If unspecified, the default state is DRAFT.
  • text=amet.
    • Description of this announcement. The text must be a valid UTF-8 string containing no more than 30,000 characters.
  • update-time=duo
    • Timestamp of the most recent change to this announcement. Read-only.

About Cursors

The cursor position is key to comfortably set complex nested structures. The following rules apply:

  • The cursor position is always set relative to the current one, unless the field name starts with the . character. Fields can be nested such as in -r f.s.o .
  • The cursor position is set relative to the top-level structure if it starts with ., e.g. -r .s.s
  • You can also set nested fields without setting the cursor explicitly. For example, to set a value relative to the current cursor position, you would specify -r struct.sub_struct=bar.
  • You can move the cursor one level up by using ... Each additional . moves it up one additional level. E.g. ... would go three levels up.

Optional Output Flags

The method's return value a JSON encoded structure, which will be written to standard output by default.

  • -o out
    • out specifies the destination to which to write the server's result to. It will be a JSON-encoded structure. The destination may be - to indicate standard output, or a filepath that is to contain the received bytes. If unset, it defaults to standard output.
