Hi Craig, thanks for your response.
Please could you point me to the information I need to access the REST endpoint to do this?
"More recent" means "assignments which have been updated (as in, status changed, notes added etc) since about 1st August". It's hard to be more precise - I'm interested in extracting Assignments which have Notes fields populated and (sadly) the date a Note was left is not provided by the script. I have a Python script which filters out items from the AssignmentsDownload.csv which have Notes fields populated - it builds a new CSV of these and sends them to a bunch of interested parties. These "more recent" Assignments are missing from the AssignmentsDownload.csv (which is the output of your standalone script). Bizarrely, some of these missing Assignments have previously been extracted successfully. Something changed around the 8th of August, but it wasn't my end...
I've got used to dealing with script runtime errors caused by strange characters entered in Notes by site staff - and my follow-on script now correctly handles commas in the Notes (which, of course, upset csv formatting!) - but this is definitely something different. Happy to email a sample AssignmentsDownload.csv which is missing the data if it's of help, but can't see that it would be...
Very grateful for your help on this.
