Response Example

{
"id": "abcde",
"loginUrl": "https://use.cloudshare.com/Ent/Course.mvc/ClassSponsoredLink/abcde",
}

Parameters

id The unique identifier of the class sponsored link
loginUrl The unique URL to navigate to and login to the class

Notes

  • The URL effectively automates the process of logging in the class. This means that the login might fail if for example:

    • The class is not yet open.
    • preRegisterStudent=false or was not set and the class is fully booked at time of login.
    • preRegisterStudent=true and the class has a maximum student limitation and is already fully booked.
    • The class does not allow multiple environment activation and URL is used after an environment was already activated and expired.
  • Unfilled or null custom fields, those listed in the registrationInfo object, might cause the login URL to show the class login page in order to the user to fill those fields if they’re required in the class’s project training settings.

    This behavior can be overriden by checking the Disable forced registration for Class Sponsored Links in the class’s project training settings. With this checked even if the Class Sponsored Link wasn’t generated with a required custom field, the student will be logged in.

  • Concurrent requests that use the same class ID with preRegisterStudent=true might data-race and result in overbooking, thus exceeding the maximum student limit for the class.

    To ensure that the maximum student limit is enforced for the class, API requests must be received using a mutually exclusive method.
