Search Canvas account for content item string

[jfahs]

Is it possible for a Canvas Administrator to search an account for a content item string and return the results for tallying? Specifically we would like to determine the usage of Respondus LockDown Browser by querying the quiz title suffix "Requires Respondus LockDown Browser" across all courses in an account.  Respondus not have a tool to assess usage, only for their separate Monitor feature through their Administrator site.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

I had the same issue. For whatever reason the reports area of the Admin interface fails to accurately report the use of Respondus LDB. I had to write a custom program to use the Canvas API Tabs endpoint and look for all courses in a sub-account that had enabled the 'Lockdown Browser' tab.

Thank you, Jeffrey!

You might also iterate through all the courses and their quizzes and test each quiz title for that string. Check out Quizzes - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation.
