Error with a Google Doc in Google Classroom ... cannot open - google-classroom

I have a Google document that students add to every week. They have their own copy each. It essentially replaces their normal exercise book in school. I am trying to access one of these documents through Google Classroom but it does not open. It simply looks like the attached image. All of the other documents are working. What do I do?
We desperately need this document restored as it contains months and months of work.
Thank you for your help.

How to pin an announcement on google classroom

In 2020 aprox Google introduced the option to pin an announcement at the top of the list (in the main page of the classroom), manually is an option inside the colon menu after you create an announcement.
I 'd need to use this option in a script, because I need to pin a document with rules in every classroom I have, but I can't find any reference in Classrooms API.
Can someone help me?
I do not believe this is possible programmatically at this time as there is no reference in the API to be able to do so with either announcements or course work materials, as you mentioned. I had looked to try to accomplish the same thing and came to the conclusion it's not yet supported. You could post this as a feature request in the Classroom issue tracker, I'm surprised I don't already see it there: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues?q=componentid:191645%20status:open
One alternate solution to make course work added via script easier to access as it gets pushed down the classroom feed is to make it posted to it's own topic:

How to scrape LinkedIn for connections with Google Sheets [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Scraping data to Google Sheets from a website that uses JavaScript
(2 answers)
Closed last month.
Trying to scrape my LinkedIn account for the first 20 connections using Google Sheets.
I'm guessing that it's not working because I'm asking for "mynetwork" but that doesn't give Google Sheets an id? Not sure, I'm brand new to Google Sheets.
Any help GREATLY appreciated!
I've tried the following:
=ImportFeed( "https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/invite-connect/connections/")
ERROR Imported Content is Empty
=IMPORTXML( "https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/invite-connect/connections/", "//div[#class="ember-view")")
ERROR Formula Parse Error
=IMPORTHTML("https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/invite-connect/connections/", "list", "1")
ERROR Could not fetch url: https://www.linkedin.com/mynetwork/invite-connect/connections/
The problem appears to be intermittent. The web query works whenever moved to a new sheet, or whenever the URL is broken and then corrected, forcing a refresh. The data is there one minute, and vanishes the next, but has always been restored as described.
The sheet is public at this URL, and te web query is present in the cell AK12 at this writing. copy the sheet and then Break the URL and restore it to demonstrate the workaround.
Google Sheets does not support scraping of JavaScript elements nor any elements behind the login. the best course of action would be to look at LinkedIn API: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/rest-api

Google Custom Search API showing old results

I am trying to use the Google Custom Search API to show my ranking results on a regular basis. The only problem is that the displayed results seem to be fairly inaccurate, almost as if they are results from a month ago. The reason I know this, is that I searched for a famous person and it ranked a month old article. Is this normal for a Google search API? Is there a way I can get updated results?
I've checked the Google documentation but couldn't find anything.
Thanks in advance!

RSS API to get TED videos

Developing an app on android platform to get the ted videos which will replicates ted .
I want to give user experience and use based on these...
category based, views based, talkers based,tag name based.
Unfortunately after long googling still am not able to find a better way to get or separate the talks based on above conditions using the feedburner list like the below ones,
http://feeds.feedburner.com/TedtalksHD
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/tedtalks_video/
Is there any api like thing or some other way to get it done better. I tried with google reader api but in that the feeds are not listed based on its category.
I really appreciate your help.
At first I was thinking that it would be a job for a yahoo pipe, but after looking at the feed it looks like every item is tagged with the same Higher Education category. No luck going that route.
I think you might want to look at the youtube data api's.
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_understanding_video_feeds.html#Understanding_Video_Entries
It looks like in that data set you'll get alot more information including the number of views and favorites on youtube.
Oops, forgot to mention that the TED videos are always on youtube at, http://www.youtube.com/user/TEDtalksDirector

Is it possible to generate notifications when new docs are uploaded to Google Docs?

I have shared a Google Docs folder with our remote team and a few members of my team. Is it possible to send out emails to all collaborators/viewers when a document is uploaded or edited in the folder?
Otherwise it becomes difficult to keep track of whether anything was changed or not.
Thanks.
Yes! Check out the Google Documents List Data API. Basically, you post a signed request to the API requesting specific documents or a list of documents overall and Google responds with an Atom feed of the documents that you're looking for. Among the tags is <updated>, which contains the timestamp of the last modification. If you keep a local listing of files handy, you can compare to see if any revisions were made.
Also interesting in the feed is <published>, which describes when a doc was created. If you know the last time you checked for updates, any docs published after that time can be considered newly created.
I'm not going to get into code (doesn't sound like what you're asking for), but this should get you on the right track. Hope it helps!
Yes and no.
Google Docs is not a consistent set of tools, so notifications are supported but only partially.
Google Spreadsheet has a set notification rules in the Tools menu
Google Form is linked to spreadsheet so they're covered too
You would have to do something yourself for Document/Word and Presentation apps
I would suggest reading the document from web and checking if the checksum was changed
