[ARCHIVED] Canvas Data Loader vs Canvas Data CLI

[dtod]

I'm pretty sure these are different things, but the URL to the Canvas Data Loader page includes "cli-tool", i.e. https://community.canvaslms.com/docs/DOC-11943-how-to-use-the-canvas-data-cli-tool - is that a mistake and is the Canvas Data Loader still current?

Also, is there a relationship between this area(?) of the community and https://community.canvaslms.com/groups/big-data?

Data and Analytics is a group for sharing and asking questions about Canvas Data and Analytics.

Canvas Data Services is for questions and notifications about Canvas Data services and products.

The URL for that article was definitely recycled.

How to Use the Canvas Data Loader 

How to Use the Canvas Data CLI Tool 

The Canvas Data Loader is described on Github as

An Example Application to download data from Canvas Data, and import it into a Database.

A comment on issue#6 indicates support is limited, and the last commit was last October.

To be honest there hasn't been too much production testing for the "Canvas-Data-Loader" since it's meant to be an example, or an interim solution.
