I'm trying to get the course count of an account. The resource that I am using is
https://tamuct.test.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/1?include[]=course_count
It's not returning a course_count field. What am I doing wrong?
Hi @steven_hill,
According to the accounts API documentation, the "get a single account" endpoint doesn't have any include parameters. If you list accounts instead, you can use the include parameter (you'll just have to go through the returned list of results to find the account you're looking for, remembering pagination may need to be taken into account if you have access to a lot of accounts). I'm not sure why the API was designed this way, but I hope this info gets you going!

I'm building a tool for my institution that imports grades from another LTI tool into Canvas so instructors can automate late assignment policies not otherwise supported by Canvas. 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…
