How do I enable Weighted Grades through the API? I am already creating Assignment Groups and setting the weights, but I cannot figure out how to make sure that the "Weight final grade based on assignment groups" check box is selected.

When you create a course, you can use the Create a course API endpoint to set this. If the course is already created, then you can use the Update a course endpoint. The first is a POST, the second is a PUT.
What you want to use is the course[apply_assignment_group_weights] parameter. The description is "Set to true to weight final grade based on assignment groups percentages."
I am calling the canvas API to get course Information. This is the endpoint that i am using /courses/{contextId}?include[]=account This is not returning the account.

I looked through the LTI Variable Substitutions documentation and while there are variable substitutions available for Canvas.term.name and Canvas.term.id (which is the Canvas incremented ID like "104"), I was surprised to see there was no option for Canvas.term.sisSourceId I tried testing other possible variants that may…
