Hi All, I was trying to get User Page View from within Canvas of a particular student and the CSV only show 300 lines of data. I was told by Canvas to use Live API, I ran the /v1/users/{user_id}/page_views but the data I got was even shorter, only 9 instances. I know there is a way to get more than 300 instances but can't…
Hello, We are trying to create reports that include when a student last accessed their course. I know this can be done with the data portal by getting the latest request timestamp in the requests table but that is a few days behind - we need it in real time. I am not seeing a quick way to do this with the API. I only see…
As an LTI provider , we are experiencing an issue since yesterday where random requests from the Canvas LTI (1.1) are not containing necessary information as usual : lti_version, tool_consumer_info_product_family_code, lti_message_type could be more? This is happening RANDOMLY for users trying to connect to LTI. The…
Should contact the External App vendor for recommendation when configuring External Apps recommended Domain, Privacy, and Custom Fields? (since these are optional fields)
Hi all, Has anyone managed to setup Google Analytics 4?
I am a student. I am trying to build a tool that optimizes a student's work schedule. For that, I need to pull a student's calendar events. However, I could not find a python API wrapper implementation for this, so I tried to use requests to get the data. Unlike courses data, the base URL…
I am using the free version installed on an ssd machine. It is terribly slow. I will gladly pay to have the problem fixed
Hiya, With the Canvas/Teams integration setup you end up with Teams created that have a reference back to the Canvas course that they belong to. You can lookup details of a Team using the Microsoft Graph API: https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer When doing this you can query a Team/Group using and ID…
My company runs a self-hosted Canvas server. The person who administered this system left the company 9-10 months ago. The individual she gave an admin account to apparently has never signed in. Trying the "Don't know your password" function generates no email message for either the user who left the company or this new…
We are looking into adding Microsoft Teams classes to our environment. By default and not configurable this adds itself to EVERY singe course in Canvas. I believe I can use XML to make this disabled in each course menu navigation which would them require teachers to enable it if they wanted to use it. I found this XML tool…
Hi all, I'm prototyping an integration which messages students who haven't logged into Canvas for over a month. I was planning on using the "?include=last_login" parameter on the /api/v1/users/ endpoint and using that as the basis of the reminder. Just curious if anybody knows what generates this value? Is it only updated…

Hello, I am working some custom Javascript that needs to be able to add and remove favorite courses for users through the Canvas API. I can get the list of a user's favorites without any issues, but I am getting a 422 "unprocessable entity" response when I try to do a POST request to add a favorite course for a user.…
Hello, We are looking for a way to enroll trust users via the API, using their sis_user_id (instead of Canvas user ID). https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Admin-Blog/Trust-Account-User-Roles-and-Expectations/ba-p/246763 On the page above it states: "Trusts do not provide any automation for trust enrollments. Users…
This has been frustrating. I've tried URLs of the form: https://canvas.nd.edu/courses/33333/file_content/Public/11111 and https://canvas.nd.edu/api/v1/courses/33333/files/11111 (which I could've sworn worked last week), but I can not find the URL construct (it's not the same as the 2017 post here I found) that works. Any…
