Developer Key with canvas[-test].instructure.com

Perllaghu

I am an LTI Tool Developer, and wish to test/assert my tool works correctly under canvas.

I am using the FFT system - testing LTI 1.1 was fine - it's the default connection.

To use LTI 1.3, https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Admin-Guide/How-do-I-add-a-developer-API-key-for-an-account/ta-p/259 says the account has to have the feature enabled.... but I cannot spot who to ask!

.... and yes, I would also like to make my LTI tools generally available - which I presume is also through the same key?

Hi @Perllaghu, 

 

The way that Free-for-Teacher is set up, it would not allow for administrator-level access that is required to test out a LTI 1.3 tool or install a dev key. The two options for you would be to try: 

• Open-source Canvas
• Request a sandbox/go through purchase routes for Canvas

We can't, even temporarily, give administrator-level access to Canvas Free-for-Teacher. Hope this helps.
