timeback-qti 0.4.0

Timeback QTI client for assessment item and test operations

timeback-qti

Python client for the Timeback QTI assessment API.

Installation

pip install timeback-qti

Quick Start

from timeback_qti import QtiClient

async def main():
    client = QtiClient(
        env="staging",
        client_id="your-client-id",
        client_secret="your-client-secret",
    )

    # List assessment items
    result = await client.assessment_items.list()

    # Create an item from QTI XML
    item = await client.assessment_items.create_from_xml({
        "format": "xml",
        "xml": "<qti-assessment-item>...</qti-assessment-item>",
    })

    # Validate QTI XML
    validation = await client.validate.validate({
        "schema": "item",
        "xml": "<qti-assessment-item>...</qti-assessment-item>",
    })

    await client.close()

Resources

• client.assessment_items - Assessment item CRUD, XML/metadata creation, response processing
• client.assessment_tests - Assessment test CRUD with nested test parts, sections, and items
• client.stimuli - Stimulus material CRUD
• client.validate - QTI XML validation (single and batch)
• client.lesson - Lesson and question feedback
• client.general - General operations (delete by ID)

Filtering

The top-level assessment-item and assessment-test lists accept the same where clause as the other Timeback clients, compiled to the server-side filter expression:

# Exact match
drafts = await client.assessment_tests.list({"where": {"title": "Unit 5 Final"}})

# Substring/regex match (case-insensitive)
mine = await client.assessment_items.list(
    {"where": {"identifier": {"contains": "^playcademy-test-"}}}
)

# Streams filter server-side too
async for test in client.assessment_tests.stream(where={"title": {"contains": "math"}}):
    print(test["identifier"])

Nested lists (test parts, sections) and stimuli do not support filtering.
