Can we create user and enrol them to a course using an application form on our website?

[martin_kabat]

We would like to use web form for new and existing students to enrol them selves to some courses or activities. The issue we have is to create and enrol student at the same time. Is this possible using API?

Hi martin,

Yes this is very possible because Canvas has a robust set of API's available for us to use. Here are links to the create user and enrollment ##api‌ that I use and you will need to use to accomplish this. 

create user‌: Users - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation 

user enrollment‌: Enrollments - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation 

Hope this helps.
