Scopes

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

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

Required Scalar Argument

  • <id> (string)
    • Identifier of the course to update. 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:

Course:
  alternate-link: string
  calendar-id: string
  course-group-email: string
  course-state: string
  creation-time: string
  description: string
  description-heading: string
  enrollment-code: string
  gradebook-settings:
    calculation-type: string
    display-setting: string
  guardians-enabled: boolean
  id: string
  name: string
  owner-id: string
  room: string
  section: string
  teacher-folder:
    alternate-link: string
    id: string
    title: string
  teacher-group-email: 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=sed
    • Absolute link to this course in the Classroom web UI. Read-only.
  • calendar-id=kasd
    • The Calendar ID for a calendar that all course members can see, to which Classroom adds events for course work and announcements in the course. The Calendar for a course is created asynchronously when the course is set to CourseState.ACTIVE for the first time (at creation time or when it is updated to ACTIVE through the UI or the API). The Calendar ID will not be populated until the creation process is completed. Read-only.
  • course-group-email=lorem
    • The email address of a Google group containing all members of the course. This group does not accept email and can only be used for permissions. Read-only.
  • course-state=sanctus
    • State of the course. If unspecified, the default state is PROVISIONED.
  • creation-time=nonumy
    • Creation time of the course. Specifying this field in a course update mask results in an error. Read-only.
  • description=rebum.
    • Optional description. For example, "We'll be learning about the structure of living creatures from a combination of textbooks, guest lectures, and lab work. Expect to be excited!" If set, this field must be a valid UTF-8 string and no longer than 30,000 characters.
  • description-heading=tempor
    • Optional heading for the description. For example, "Welcome to 10th Grade Biology." If set, this field must be a valid UTF-8 string and no longer than 3600 characters.
  • enrollment-code=dolore
    • Enrollment code to use when joining this course. Specifying this field in a course update mask results in an error. Read-only.
  • gradebook-settings calculation-type=eos
    • Indicates how the overall grade is calculated.

  • display-setting=amet.

    • Indicates who can see the overall grade..

  • .. guardians-enabled=false

    • Whether or not guardian notifications are enabled for this course. Read-only.
  • id=amet
    • Identifier for this course assigned by Classroom. When creating a course, you may optionally set this identifier to an alias string in the request to create a corresponding alias. The id is still assigned by Classroom and cannot be updated after the course is created. Specifying this field in a course update mask results in an error.
  • name=ut
    • Name of the course. For example, "10th Grade Biology". The name is required. It must be between 1 and 750 characters and a valid UTF-8 string.
  • owner-id=at
    • The identifier of the owner of a course. When specified as a parameter of a create course request, this field is required. The identifier can be one of the following: * the numeric identifier for the user * the email address of the user * the string literal &#34;me&#34;, indicating the requesting user This must be set in a create request. Admins can also specify this field in a patch course request to transfer ownership. In other contexts, it is read-only.

    • Time of the most recent update to this course. Specifying this field in a course update mask results in an error. 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.
