I am trying to implement grades pass back to Canvas. My application is a Tool Provider and am planning to use OAuth 1.0.
Can someone point me to the actual requirements and steps to implementing this feature? Thanks.

When the tool consumer (Canvas) launches your tool and an LTI Basic Outcomes Service (Grade Passback) is available the consumer will pass a lis_outcome_service_url and a lis_result_sourcedid.
To send a grade back from your tool to Canvas, you POST some XML to the lis_outcome_service_url. This XML will include the lis_result_sourcedid, which identifies the user and gradebook column.
This is all as per the LTI specs. Eg., Learning Tools Interoperability v1.1 Implementation Guide | IMS Global Learning Consortium
Note that the XML has to be sent using OAuth body signing.
The easiest thing is to see if there is a library or code that already supports the LTI grade return, or failing that, just the OAuth stuff, for the programming language you are using. There are some links to code at Learning Tools Interoperability: Sample Code | IMS Global Learning Consortium
Canvas has some extensions, most of Grade Passback Tools - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation is outlining these extensions.
Hello, I was thinking of this a while ago and have been trying to message Canvas support about this but they suggested here but not which category. I apologize if this is the wrong spot.

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…
UI for weekly progression idea that rest in the Schedule tab of the **K-12 UI** of Canvas it's incomplete and I really would not take it and push it into instance but I am going to post it here because in the past people like @James && @robotcars || @Steve_25 have had terrific input in the past... maybe w/their eyes and…
