Is there a document that specifies individual data elements that are:
Available in Canvas Data but not via the API; and
Available via the API but not in Canvas Data?
Maybe Deactivated user can answer?

Hi everyone - I'm sorry but I don't have a document currently that maps the api to what is available through Canvas Data. We are hoping to publish a blog post that compares and contrasts accessing data via the api vs. via Canvas Data. In a nutshell, if you know ahead of time the specific course or person or assignment you are looking for, the api is a nice direct way to get it. But if you are looking to do summary by terms or see correlations and patterns, having the data laid out in a warehouse schema may be more effective.
Hope this helps - more to come!
Linda
