Hi guys,
I really need your help here, I am a junior web developer and am trying to set up the connection between our platform (Tool Provider) and Canvas, I am struggling to find a good tool to test the oAuth2 requests, a tool that acts like Canvas to test the set up that I made, I am not sure if canvas provides such a tool or not.
Second of all the oAuth2 protocol that canvas uses to access our content on behalf of a University, I think it's ( Authorization code grant), also if anyone has a working example for the setup or any useful resources, I would really appreciate it.
PS: I am using Javascript stack, node js express server.
Thanks
