Hi,
I am trying to create an iOS application that uses the Canvas API. According to this forum, students have access to API keys that students only have access too. That is fine, I was wondering how do I get these keys?
Any links that would direct me to creating keys would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
-Cyril

You should use OAuth2 to secure and authenticate users to your app, not api tokens.
See OAuth2 - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation
Note that asking any other user to manually generate a token and enter it into your application is a violation of Canvas' terms of service. Applications in use by multiple users MUST use OAuth to obtain tokens.https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.oauth.html#manual-token-generation
Also Asking users to generate an access token
