ProProfs Quiz Maker Rest API Guide

ProProfs lets you use the REST API to register, authenticate, and track learners for your courses and quizzes.

This API application facilitates three distinct processes:

1. Registering new users in a classroom

2. Tracking user progress for each assignment, and

3. Enabling classroom user authentication

Advantages of REST API:

Developers enjoy flexibility as REST can handle multiple call types.
It uses less bandwidth and provides fast execution.
It facilitates autonomous development across various parts of the project.

In this article, you’ll learn,

1. How to register new users in a classroom

2. How to track user progress for each assignment

3. Hot to enable classroom user authentication

Live Example in PHP

This example will help you authenticate users in the classroom using the ProProfs REST API.

<?php

function sendRequest($json)

{

$curl_obj = curl_init();

curl_setopt($curl_obj, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

curl_setopt($curl_obj, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.proprofs.com/api/classroom/v1/user/auth/");

curl_setopt($curl_obj, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $json);

curl_setopt($curl_obj, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($curl_obj, CURLOPT_POST, 1);

curl_setopt($curl_obj, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0);

return curl_exec($curl_obj);

}

$request_array = array();

$request_array["token"] = "Your API Key";

$request_array["username"] = "Your ProProfs Username";

$request_array["email_or_ID"] = "john@proprofs.com";

$request_array["password"] = "3aa801d5d85e77ce9f2e431d8bf5fd73";

$json_request_string = json_encode( $request_array);

echo sendRequest($json_request_string);

That is all about using the REST API in ProProfs Quiz Maker.
