Parameters
Parameter
Type
Required
Description
statements
​Statement[]
true
The statements you wish to send to the LRS.
attachments
ArrayBuffer[]
false
An array of attachment data converted to ArrayBuffer.
Returns
This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing a string array of statement IDs if successful, or if unsuccessful the rejection contains an error message.
getStatement
To receive a single statement, you must use the getStatement method and pass the statement ID in the query. Optionally, you can provide additional parameters to the query to change the data format returned from the LRS.
Examples
Example 1: Get Basic Statement
1
xapi.getStatement({
2
  statementId: "abcdefgh-1234"
3
}).then((result: AxiosResponse<Statement>) => {
4
  const statement: Statement = result.data;
5
  // do stuff with `statement`
6
});

Example 2: Get Embedded Attachment Statement
1
xapi.getStatement({
2
  statementId: "abcdefgh-1234",
3
  attachments: true
4
}).then((result: AxiosResponse<StatementResponseWithAttachments>) => {
5
  const parts: [Statement, ...Part[]] = result.data;

  const statement: Statement = parts[0];
7
  const attachment: unknown = parts[1];

Parameters
Parameter
Type
Required
Description
statementId
string
true
The identifier of the statement to request.
attachments
boolean
false
Whether to return the attachment(s) associated with the statement, if any.
format
string
false
What human readable names and descriptions are included in the statement.
exact format returns the statements exactly as they were received by the LRS.
ids only ids are returned with none of the human readable descriptions.
canonical format requests the LRS to return its own internal definitions of objects, rather than those provided in the statement.
Returns
This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing the Statement of the supplied statementId.
When getting a statement with attachments: true, the success data is returned as an array. The first array item is of type Statement, and the following are of type Part  and are the attachments supplied with the statement.
getStatements
To receive an array of statements based upon a query, you must use the getStatements method. See the GetStatementsQuery interface for a full list of ways to create your query.
Example
1
const myAgent: Agent = {...};
2
​
3
xapi.getStatements({
4
  agent: myAgent
5
}).then((result: AxiosResponse<StatementsResponse>) => {
6
  const statementsResponse: StatementsResponse = result.data;
7
  // do stuff with `statementsResponse.statements`
8
});

false
Determines whether to return the statements in ascending order.
attachments
boolean
false
Determines whether to return the attachments for the resulting statements.
Returns
This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing a StatementsResponse object.
When getting statements with attachments: true, the success data is returned as an array. The first array item is of type StatementsResponse, and the following are of type Part  and are the attachments supplied with the statement.
getMoreStatements
To be used in conjunction with getStatements. If the more property is populated on your initial request, more data is available. Send the value of the more property to this method to get the next page of statements.
Example
1
const myAgent: Agent = {...};
2
​
3
xapi.getStatements({
4
  agent: myAgent
5
}).then((result: AxiosReponse<StatementsResponse>) => {

  xapi.getMoreStatements({
8
    more: result.data.more

Description
more
string
true
The more property passed from the getStatements/getMoreStatements query response.
Returns
This method returns an AxiosPromise with the success data containing a StatementsResponse object or an Array containing StatementsResponse and Part if the original query has attachments: true. When working in TypeScript you may need to cast your result.data return type explicitly as StatementsResponse or StatementsResponseWithAttachments.
voidStatement
Voids a statement in the LRS by the supplied Actor.
Example
1
const actor: Actor = { ... };

The identifier of the voided statement to request.
attachments
boolean
false
Whether to return the attachment(s) associated with the voided statement, if any.
format
string
false
What human readable names and descriptions are included in the voided statement.
exact format returns the statements exactly as they were received by the LRS.
ids only ids are returned with none of the human readable descriptions.
canonical format requests the LRS to return its own internal definitions of objects, rather than those provided in the statement.
