Access which students viewed a specific resource (file) using an API call

What I'm trying to achieve is very similar to the question that was asked here, and which has apparently been resolved: 

https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Ideas/view-access-by-file-or-item-not-user/idi-p/364451#co...

 

Although I do see that you can get student access information for a specific resource by pulling an entire activity report and then doing a lot of data massaging, I am only interested in which students accessed one specific file.

Ideally, I would like to do this using an API call because I am trying to combine it with other workflows, so having to manually pull the activity report from canvas is not ideal - even if it kind of solves the problem. 

Importantly, I don't just want to know how many views or how many students accessed the file, I need to know which students accessed the file. 

 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

~Elissa
