How does one return ALL the users, including DELETED, via API?

[rhorn]

I'm attempting to create a full local mirror of our Canvas instance. A problem I am running into is I cannot figure out how to return ALL users through a GET call, including ones who have been deleted. It will only bring in current active users.

I've checked the USER API Documentation on the API website for a flag to set, to no avail.

Any help would be appreciated.

You are correct, you cannot get deleted users with a GET users call.

You can get them if you run a provisioning report with "Include Deleted Objects".  A SIS export also has this options.

Note that you can run reports via the API (Account Reports - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation), so you can still automate this if you use a report to get the users.

Ok, sounds like this is what I'll need to go with. Thank you for the pointer!
