Submission API or POST option?

[pwhunter]

It is my intention to incorporate a number of (self-built, web-based) tools I'm using for formatif tasks. Rather than have students complete the task in the tool and download some intermediate file which is then used for formatif submission, it would be nice if students could "Submit" from the tool and for there to be a behind-the-scenes submission to formatif (e.g. https POST?)

Not 100% sure on how authentication would work (I can get a webCMS authentication token, but not sure about SSO) - I don't know enough to know if an https POST would trigger that authentication round.

A possible extension of this idea would be to have web-based forms where students can make their submission directly (perhaps with a behind-the-scences conversion to an appropriate filetype).

This is a great idea - having some form of tool interop where you can push content into student portfolios.

It would need a separate auth method - as all post methods require auth which would need the student to login to get credentials. A tool based token could work - then we could authorise this per unit.

Seems like we’re looking for a sort of plugin system?
