Create a new Course with Google Apps Script - ClassRoom API

There is an error on line 11 stating:

Requested entity was not found. (line 11, file "Code")

line 11

createdCourse = Classroom.Courses.get('Bio10');

The function:

function createA_NewCourse() {
  var courseNew,createdCourse;

  courseNew = Classroom.newCourse();

  courseNew.name = "10th Grade Biology";
  courseNew.id = "Bio10";

  Logger.log("course.name " + courseNew.name);//Verify that name was set

  createdCourse = Classroom.Courses.get('Bio10');//Try to get course by ID

  Logger.log(createdCourse)
}

How is a new course created in Apps Script?

There are specific values for the ownerId that must be used. The ownerId specifies the owner of the course. One of the valid ownerId strings is "me" which is the requesting user.

Other valid owner ID strings are:

  • the numeric identifier for the user
  • the email address of the user

The email address of the user is self explanatory. I don't know where you get the numeric identifier of the user.

Without the ownerId setting being set first, or being set to an invalid string, I was getting an error message:

The caller does not have permission

As stated by @Dean Ransevycz, there should be a create() method.

Here's a sample code:

function createCourses() {

  var course;
  course = Classroom.newCourse();       

  course.name = "10th Grade Biology";
  course.ownerId = "me";
  //course.id = "Bio10";

  course = Classroom.Courses.create(course);
  Logger.log('%s (%s)', course.name, course.id);

  var list = Classroom.Courses.list();
  Logger.log(list);

}

enter image description here

You're getting an Requested entity was not found. error since you might be using the wrong course id. And I guess you can't set an ID when creating a course. (Source.)
