Is there any documentation about using LTI 1.3 / LTI Advantage with Canvas? There's a feature option to turn it on in our beta environment but beyond that it's not clear how to get started.
lti 1.3 #lti advantage
I haven't heard anything official about 1.3 adoption.
There was a session at InstructureCon called Candy For Coders. They stated that 1.3 is not ready, they found issues with it and to keep using 1.1 for now. If it's in beta, it's probably to get input and test.

Hi! I participate in the LTI workgroup and we have been helping the community with early implementations around LTI 1.3 platform and tools adoption.
The paint is almost dry on the LTI 1.3 core spec, and LMS platforms including Canvas have been implementing in parallel in anticipation of the spec being finalized. There is a developer feature flag available in beta now, and I believe the Canvas team is working with IMS right now to run through the LTI 1.3 certification tests, which are in the process of being implemented as I type.
Once the LTI 1.3 core spec is approved and released along with the cert tests, then the platforms can proceed with obtaining certification and rolling out support for 1.3 in their products. And once platforms are ready with their side, then tools will be able to follow.
I made a video here with an intro to LTI 1.3 and LTI Advantage and we are working on a follow up video/blog post with more info - hoping to show examples of test tools using LTI 1.3 and the IMS reference implementation.
Regards!

Hello Linda,
Thank you for this update it was very helpful, informative and easy to follow.
I do have a question for the Canvas Team. As you mention above, the 'paint is almost dry on the LTI 1.3 core spec. Do you know when this might be ready and fully dry and ready for us to have access too?
Thanks
Alice
Not sure if I'm mistaken, but according to the IMS Global website, 1.3 seems to be out and finalized... Canvas is listed as LTI 1.3 certified as of version 2019.1.29 (Canvas Certification).
Edit: Looks like it's still in Candidate Final status and not Final status? But Canvas is certified...
With the latest documentation update the standard documentation on https://api.instructure.com has been updated to reference LTI 1.3.

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…
How can one track Canvas Media use without having the reports available from Canvas Studio? Checking API endpoints and the Data 2 schema, there do not seem to be dedicated Canvas Media endpoints. Am I missing some? A method I've considered is using the body field of the wiki_pages table, as this contains the html code of…
Hello, I'm trying to utilize an API call to pull completed certificates and was hoping to download and store the certs as a backup. I can successfully run the API call but it will not allow me to view the certificate unless I access the URL while signed into an account where it's "my" cert. Is there a permissions setting…
