If I have an external LTI/API based tool is it possible to have it informed when a course containing it is copied? There doesn't currently seem to be a webhook endpoint that does this on:
Webhooks Subscriptions - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
Hi Matthew --
I think you're correct that there's currently no way for your tool to be informed in real-time when it's been copied into a new course, but there are some LTI Variable Substitutions that you can use to be able to tell when you're receiving an LTI launch into a copied tool.
Take a look at this page in the API docs: <!-- - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation</A>
Specifically, search for "Canvas.course.previousContextIds" and "Canvas.course.previousCourseIds". In theory, you should be able to use those variables to copy local data from a previous context into the current context/course.
Hope this helps!

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…
