Is there a Canvas REST API that can be used to Publish a course or Unpublish a Course?
Hey @gibbonsd ,
When creating a course using the course api you can set the state of the course. You can also use the course update api (Courses - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation ) where you can set course[event] parameter to offer, which published the course.
The code I have written auto publishes the course upon creation and then I use the #unpublished courses report to find courses that have been unpublished by the instructor and go publish them for the instructor 5 days out from the start.
Hope this helps.
Brian

Summary:The Learning Mastery Gradebook allows drag-and-drop reordering of outcome columns, and this triggers a call to /api/v1/courses/:course_id/assign_outcome_order.

I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas. I'm trying to use the LTIv1.3 ID which is readily available on the LTI-side as a link to the student record on Canvas, but I can't find the ID…
