Hi there,Following the terrific advice provided by James Jones and using some tools available on the Web, I built a signature file, generated an HMAC-SHA-256 digest and had it base64 encoded. I then tried testing the access using Postman.  Here's a s...

How will grading periods be used in Canvas Data?  For example, Current and Final grades which are available in Canvas Data, are likely aggregate grades over the duration of the term.  If the term is full year and the institution is using grading peri...

Didn't see anything similar to an e/r diagram - or anything that depicts the relationships between the tables in the documentation portal.  Did I miss it? 

web_applicaiton_action isn't spelled correctly.  hopefully this will save some of you some time banging your head against a wall trying to figure out why your sql isn't working...!

SynopsisCalls to the Canvas Data API need to be authenticated. The Canvas Data API documentation​ provides example code that isn't explained very well. This post will explain what's going on so that people can prepare the signature needed to use the ...

Hello.  We are building a report with grades for students who dropped the course.  The report grades earned on any assignments before the student dropped as well as current and final scores and grades.  We have discovered that the enrollment_fact tab...

Hi, I am new to the Python requests library and I am trying to figure out how to make an api call to dump the data files from Canvas. I keep getting a 404 error, so I just want to make sure I'm forming the request correctly. I looked at the API guide...

We are looking to extract and report on  Outcome data.  Is there a time frame when this would be included in the data ?

In the data portal it says "Please note that the date specified does not reflect the actual dates of the data, but instead when the data was finished exporting. The most recent data in a given export is generally 24-36 hours older than the date given...

I noticed today when working in one of my sub accounts, that I can access the Canvas Data menu item from the SubAccounts.   Is there anything special about accessing the Canvas Data panel from a SubAccount?    Thanks< Glen

Looking at the "Create Credentials" page, it looks like I, as myself, can create a single set of credentials.   So, If I want to share those credentials with others, they all use a common set of credentials created by me.      If things go sideways, ...

Looking at the Docs, it looks like I would use the option to Create API Credentials.    This for sure lets myself, and anyone I give them to, access to download the data files and load them into my private DBMS.   But, I was told that Civitas, in par...

There are just so many questions to ask... I hear of a document that is being created to address this. Can we take a peak and give you feedback?Thanks!!

Are calendar events available in Canvas Data? I see that assignment_dim has due_at. But are other entered calendar activities available through other such tables?

I was stuck longer than I'm proud of this morning with a bug in my code - it turned out to be because the requests table has a column named "conversaion_id", while my code was using a more traditional spelling...It's a minor thing, but it'd be helpfu...

Good morning - Recently selecting all data and looking at the external tool dim and fact tables I am not see valid ID's in the FACT and in the DIM table the Canvas ID's appear to be wrong.Are others seeing similar behavior?

We've been doing some validation across the dataset as a whole, and one thing that has jumped out is that the various free-form text fields are truncated to 255 (or sometimes 256) characters at the schema level. Some of the work that our researchers ...

Anyone using Talend to connect to the redshift database?
