Is it possible to add activity to a course using API is there already something ready to use or it has to be developed?
Having the same question here. Did you find any information about it?
I had created plugin for "Bulk course creations" on local system getting course contents from 2 webservice.
Now I am going to develop a webservice. When a user pass required parameter to this "Bulk Course creation" plugin from another system.
It will collect course content from webservice, create whole new course with new activities/contents etc and return course link.
I am sure it is possible to add activities in courses via webservice/api.
Soon, I will share my experience.
Just started to dwell in the same question, was wondering what was the outcome of this ?
cheers.
I was able to make a plugin to add a quiz to a course page

The code that actually adds the quiz starts on line 234 of quizlet_import.php (pasted below)
| //create an object with all of the neccesary information to build a quiz |
| $myQuiz = new stdClass(); |
| $myQuiz->modulename='quiz'; |
| $myQuiz->name = $title; |
| $myQuiz->introformat = 0; |
| $myQuiz->quizpassword = ''; |
| $myQuiz->course = $id1; |
| $myQuiz->section = $sectionNum; |
| $myQuiz->timeopen = 0; |
| $myQuiz->timeclose = 0; |

| $myQuiz->specificfeedbackclosed=1; |
| $myQuiz->generalfeedbackclosed=1; |
| $myQuiz->rightanswerclosed=1; |
| $myQuiz->overallfeedbackclosed=1; |
| //actually make the quiz using the function from course/lib.php |
| $myQuiz2 = create_module($myQuiz); |
| //print_object($myQuiz2); |
| //get the last added random short answer matching question (which will likely be the one we just added) |
| $result = $DB->get_records('question',array('qtype'=>'randomsamatch')); |
| $keys = array_keys($result); |
| $count = count($keys); |
| //add the quiz question |
| quiz_add_quiz_question($result[$keys[$count-1]]->id, $myQuiz2, $page = 0, $maxmark = null); |
Interesting. Thanks for sharing.. will give that idea a spin...
