We are a non institution edtech company that does not have institution credentials to generate API dev keys. How do we activate a testbed to implement the LMS APIs?
Hi @sagaxai,
You'll likely want to look into becoming an Instructure Partner. Depending on the partner level you select, you can get access to a Canvas sandbox instance to do all of your app testing. Please note that this is not a free program, so you'll have to decide if it's worth it to you to invest in.
The only other option at his point would be to try to find a school that would partner with you and give you some access to their Canvas instance, but I think you may have a very tough time doing that because of the level of access you'd need and the data that would be exposed to you by granting that access. Speaking as an institution Canvas Admin myself, I can tell you that my institution does not allow this kind of access to any external partners, as it's just too risky.
Hopefully this info helps!

Canvas is open source so you might be able to install your own instance of Canvas and use it as a testbed. Instructure has a page on installing Canvas or you can find other resources on the internet.

Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
I tried the Quick Reassess feature today. Once I approved the questions and created the assessment it went to the tracker for Block 1. But I can't find the new assessment in my assessments to add to Blocks 2 & 4. If I have to recreate for each class, they won't have the same questions. I also cannot find the option to…
