Retrieves a list of announcements for a specific course in the Blackboard learning management system. This endpoint allows users to access important messages, updates, or notifications related to a particular course. It should be used when there's a need to fetch all announcements or check for recent updates in a course. The tool returns announcement data but does not provide functionality for creating, updating, or deleting announcements. Keep in mind that the returned list may be paginated if there are many announcements, and additional calls might be necessary to retrieve all data.

Retrieves a specific announcement from a particular course in the Blackboard Learn system. This endpoint allows users to fetch detailed information about a single announcement, including its content, creation date, and any attachments. It is particularly useful for displaying announcement details in external applications or for retrieving updated information about a previously known announcement. The endpoint requires both the course ID and the announcement ID to ensure precise retrieval of the intended announcement. It should be used when specific announcement details are needed, rather than for listing all announcements in a course.

This endpoint updates the relationship between a parent course and its child course in the Blackboard Learning Management System. It is used to modify existing course hierarchies, allowing administrators to restructure course organizations or adjust course relationships. The endpoint should be used when there's a need to change the parent-child association between two courses, such as moving a sub-course to a different parent course or updating the hierarchical structure of courses. It's important to note that this endpoint only modifies existing relationships and does not create new courses or new child-parent associations if they don't already exist in some form.

This endpoint allows for the upload and attachment of files to a specific attempt within a course's gradebook in the Blackboard learning management system. It is used to associate submitted work, supporting documents, or any relevant files with a student's attempt on an assignment, quiz, or other assessable items. The endpoint should be called after the initial file upload process, using the generated uploadId to link the file to the specific attempt. It's particularly useful for instructors or system integrators who need to programmatically attach files to student submissions, or for building custom submission interfaces that interact with Blackboard's backend. This endpoint does not handle the actual file transfer; it assumes the file has already been uploaded to Blackboard's system and is now being associated with a specific attempt.

Initiates the OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow for the Blackboard API. This endpoint is used to obtain an authorization code, which is a crucial step in the OAuth 2.0 authentication process. The authorization code can later be exchanged for an access token, granting limited access to user resources on the Blackboard platform. This endpoint should be called when an application needs to request permission from a user to access their Blackboard data. It's important to note that this endpoint does not directly provide access to user data; it only initiates the authorization process. The response will typically include a redirect URL containing the authorization code, which the client application must handle appropriately.
