API used to generate Student Access Report?

[glparker]

In Canvas, each student in a course has a handy Access Report that shows the last time they access each item in a course, and also indicated the number of times they interacted with items that are interactive (quizzes, assignments, discussions,etc.)   Is there a  API that returns this student course access data in a convenient to use format?  

Thanks, Glen

It looks like this

You might want to try the api/v1/users/activity_stream see the API documentation on it. Canvas LMS REST API Documentation Scroll down to List the activity stream.

I hope that helped.

The data certainly looks to be in that API, but it's ordered reverse chronology, and includes all activity, course and non-course.   There also doesn't seem to be a way to filter for a course or date range.    I'd have to start making calls, going back in time until I hit the course I was interested in.  

It seems to me Canvas would have a better way to call this data to assemble the Student Access Report.    

Additionally, there's not a flag that indicates if an item is a 'participation' or not, but it would be easy enough to use my own logic for that.   All Submissions, DiscussionTopics are 'partitipation', other activity is passive, not 'participation'.  

Thanks, Glen

Hi  @glparker ,

I am going through having a look at some of the early days in the Canvas Developers group, and checking in to see if older enquiries have been answered. I also noticed there hasn’t been any discussion on this question in quite some time.

I am wondering, were you ever able to resolve this or is it something you are still looking for? I am hoping I can assume that it is well and truly resolved by now, but if not, I would suggest logging a Feature Idea in the Canvas Studio space. Alternatively, if have some insights you may be able to share for others that would be awesome too!

I will mark this as assumed answered for the time being, however, by all means please let us know if you still have an outstanding question and we will take a peek!

Cheers,
Stuart
