Hi,
I know how to validate links in content, but does anyone know of a way to list all of the hyperlinks in a course?
I don't think there's an easy way to get that. The link validation is an API endpoint, but not publicly documented, so I have no idea whether there's a way to have it just show the links.
The best alternative, if it is a large course, or you want to do it for multiple courses, is probably to make a script that uses the API to go over all pages, quizzes, assignments, discussions, etc., looking for any uses of href.
Hi @RobinKouvaras,
Like said by @Gabriel33, I do not think what you are looking for is available and I cannot find any API documentation for the "Validate Links in Content" feature.
One of the challenges for a central location is because links can exist within native forms of Canvas content (e.g. pages, discussions, assignments, quizzes, quiz questions) and as a type of item in a module.
If you were to be consistent with your design process, you could make it easier to find them if:
While not exactly what you are looking for, I hope you found my response to be helpful.

Among all the things that I wish Canvas had is that one! Is it something that is been worked on? We had it in Blackboard (legacy) and I sorely miss and need in Canvas (we just transitioned to it from Bb). Please add this very needed feature!
I have Canvas set to drop the lowest quiz score, however, my students can only barely tell that the grade text is slightly grey when dropped. Can it have a tag like the "missing" and "exempt" ones in the student gradebook?
My Canvas shell has three different sections that all meet at different times throughout the week. I need to be able to batch edit assignment due dates by section, but right now Canvas can't filter by section for batch edit. My only option is now to manually (tediously) edit due dates for each assignment individually.
Morning! One of the more frustrating aspects of Canvas are groups and the issues that show up when copying courses that have them. But now we have yet another issue. Most recently we have had instances where people mark an assignment/discussion as a group assignment but then do not link the discussion or assignment to any…
So, we have encountered a few assignments where the Speedgrader presents the teacher with the "Empty Course" page, even though the course is not empty. I have discovered two New Quizzes in the same course where this has occurred, despite multiple students being assigned (at Module level, which passes the permission down to…
