If I want to use the python API(https://github.com/ucfopen/canvasapi) what would I enter in the API_URL and API_KEY. Since I am a student, where would I get this information from?

Hey @sgovil,
API_URL is just the url of your institution. For example,
API_URL = "https://example.edu"
API_KEY is an access token. you can create one manually through the Canvas LMS user interface. Go to Account > Settings, then scroll down to the “Approved Integrations” section and click the “New Access Token” button.
Our troubleshooting page provides examples of what a valid URL might look like, and directions on how to create an access token.
