I believe "claimed" means unpublished, but there is an instructor in the course, while "created" is also unpublished, but there is no instructor in the course. A quick way to check this is to also get a section count for a course, and if there are 0 sections, there won't be an instructor, if I remember right. Canvas data may show a section count of 1 and created at times, but if you then look at the course or use the API, there'll be no sections. Since Canvas data is always behind, I use the API for any discrepancies. Note: this is using CD1

Unfortunately it looks like we have to wait until October to vote on this?! https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Community/How-do-Ideas-and-Themes-work-in-the-Instructure-Community/ta-p/2980 Open for Voting windows are generally in February and October so the prioritized themes can be delivered prior to the start of the new calendar year and back to school, as illustrated below.

Have you tried using the quizzes API call instead of the assignments call? /api/v1/courses/:course_id/quizzes/:quiz_id

agschmid · ‎12-06-2022

I just want to add a simple way to find the courses, external tool IDs and using those results in the script to remove the tools. I have a report for our institution that lists all external tools placed at the course level, with the canvas course ID, the course state, the term, the tool name, the tool ID, and the launch URL, so that a given tool can be easily found. If you're using canvas data, (and I believe it can be up to 48 hours old, but I'm sure someone will correct me of I'm wrong), you can query on the course_dim, enrollment_term_dim, and external_tool_activation_dim tables, to retrieve only the tools added at the course level.

Also, do you need to add "?per_page=100" to the end of the call since it only returns the first 10 records by default?

agschmid · ‎12-05-2022

If you try the call out, you will see it does show the assessor's comments. Here is the full json returned for that user (with some items removed): osp2 is the student who submitted while osp5 is the student who did the peer review Notice "comment": "Peer review comment from osp5", You should be able top reproduce this with a test course and test users { "id": 952830, "user_id": 4578824, "asset_id": 315900095, "asset_type": "Submission", "workflow_state": "completed", "assessor_id": 5820048, "user": { "id": 4578824, "anonymous_id": "2q51k", "display_name": "OSP Two", "avatar_image_url": "REMOVED", "html_url": "REMOVED", "pronouns": null }, "assessor": { "id": 5820048, "anonymous_id": "3gqs0", "display_name": "OSP Five", "avatar_image_url": "REMOVED", "html_url": "REMOVED", "pronouns": null }, "submission_comments": [ { "id": 39838916, "comment": "Peer review comment from osp5", "author_id": 5820048, "author_name": "OSP Five", "created_at": "2022-12-05T19:23:15Z", "edited_at": null, "avatar_path": "/images/users/5820048-0ae2d77379", "author": { "id": 5820048, "anonymous_id": "3gqs0", "display_name": "OSP Five", "avatar_image_url": "REMOVED", "html_url": "REMOVED", "pronouns": null } } ] }

Hello, I'm able to get the peer review comments using the following API call: <instance>/api/v1/courses/course_id/assignments/assignment_id/peer_reviews?include[]=submission_comments&include[]=user&per_page=100 I have several test users, some of which did a peer review and others did not. The ones who did give a peer review had their comments display under submission_comments, snippet: "submission_comments": [ { "id": 39838916, "comment": "Peer review comment from osp5", "author_id": 5820048, "author_name": "OSP Five", "created_at": "2022-12-05T19:23:15Z", "edited_at": null, "avatar_path": "/images/users/5820048-0ae2d77379", "author": { "id": 5820048, "anonymous_id": "3gqs0", "display_name": "OSP Five",

I've never used that call to get the navigation. I was not able to pull anything for tabs using that call. Looking at the change logs (since you said it previously worked), I don't see anything indicating changes. You may want to file a ticket.

agschmid · ‎06-09-2022

Hello Jenny, I use the following call: /api/v1/courses/<canvas_id>/tabs?per_page=100 - notice that "/tabs" is not an include.

We have a temporary solution for updating LTI 1.3 tools on beta and test, until Instructure comes up with a solution. I'm QA, not a developer, so this is really simple code using ruby, watir and a csv file, but it does the job. I have a class which contains the login information, browser info, and the base urls. I have a csv file for each server, (beta and test), which contains the data we need for each tool to update, and because we have tools in different nodes, it also has the account id which needs to be in the URL when accessing the developer keys. require_relative 'connect' require 'csv' server = 'beta' # class with the browser/login information c = Connection.new(server) browser = c.browser #file containing values that need to be updated use_file = 'update_files/beta_updates.csv' # Canvas login code goes here # After successful login, this starts the key updates CSV.foreach(use_file, headers:true) do |row| account = row['account'] key_edit = row['key_edit'] key_name = row['key_name'] redirect_uris = row['redirect_uris'] target_link_uri = row['target_link_uri'] oidc_initiation_url = row['oidc_initiation_url'] public_jwk_url = row['public_jwk_url'] domain = row['domain'] dev_keys_url = "#{c.dev_keys_base}#{account}/developer_keys" # dev keys browser.goto dev_keys_url browser.button(value: "#{key_edit}").scroll.to browser.button(value: "#{key_edit}").click #on dev key page - make sure key name matches if browser.text_field(name: 'developer_key[name]').value == "#{key_name}" #Redirect URIs browser.textarea(name: 'developer_key[redirect_uris]').set "#{redirect_uris}" #Target Link URI browser.text_field(name: 'target_link_uri').set "#{target_link_uri}" #OpenID Connect Initiation Url browser.text_field(name: 'oidc_initiation_url').set "#{oidc_initiation_url}" #Public JWK URL browser.text_field(name: 'public_jwk_url').set "#{public_jwk_url}" #Additional Settings browser.button(visible_text: 'Additional Settings').click sleep 1 #Domain browser.text_field(name: 'domain').set "#{domain}" #Close the Canvas warning banner browser.button(class: "element_toggler Button--icon-action").click #Save browser.button(visible_text: 'Save').click sleep 1 end end Please add your vote to the following ideas: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Support-environment-variables-for-LTI-1-3/idi-p/515085 https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Provide-an-API-endpoint-for-updating-LTI-1-3-tools/idi-p/516155

Thank you @KristinL

Could this idea please be reopened? Here is the reply I received from L2 support : My name is Taylor with our L2 Support team. I understand you are looking for information regarding whether custom environment launch URLs are supported with LTI 1.3 tools. After speaking to our engineers about this, we learned that this is unfortunately not supported with LTI 1.3 tools at this time. I'm not sure what specifics updates will be made on our end as LTI 1.3 becomes more widely adopted, but at this time, the Community Ideas space will likely be your best option, as it doesn't seem like we've seen much need for this from our end users so far until now. If you like, you can suggest these variables be supported with LTI 1.3 tools using this page: https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/forums/postpage/board-id/ideas/search-before-post-mode/true Let us know if there are any additional questions regarding this. Thanks and have a great day!

agschmid · ‎03-16-2022

Hi @KristinL , That's surprising since I contacted support first and asked. It was sent to "one of the engineers" who stated that environment variables are not available for LTI 1.3. Environment variables cannot be tested in beta. Are you possibly referring to "custom" variables? This is an example of the LTI 1.1 environment variables, (the XML gets added to production): <lticm:options name="environments"> <lticm:property name="launch_url">http://test.example.com/content</lticm:property> <lticm:property name="domain">test.example.com</lticm:property> <lticm:property name="test_launch_url">http://test.example.com/content</lticm:property> <lticm:property name="test_domain">test.example.com</lticm:property> <lticm:property name="beta_launch_url">http://beta.example.com/content</lticm:property> <lticm:property name="beta_domain">beta.example.com</lticm:property> </lticm:options>

agschmid · ‎03-14-2022

According to Instructure, "it doesn't seem like we've seen much need for this from our end users so far until now." I've created an "idea": https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Idea-Conversations/Support-environment-variables-for-LTI-1-3/idi-p/515085

agschmid · ‎03-14-2022

For LTI 1.1 there was support for environment variables (https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.tools_xml.html#test_env_settings) so when beta/test refreshed, our LTI tools would point to beta/test on the beta/test servers instead of production. We've used the environment variables for years. We're in the process of switching to LTI 1.3 and were told that there is no support for environment variables, according to Instructure "it doesn't seem like we've seen much need for this from our end users so far until now." I know we are not the only ones using the environment variables and hope that Instructure will decide to support environment variables for LTI 1.3.

agschmid · ‎03-14-2022

I'm talking about the environment variables when beta/test refresh that our LTI tools are pointing to the beta/test servers instead of production. We have used the environment variables for LTI 1.1 for years. Here's the documentation for that: https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/file.tools_xml.html#test_env_settings We would like to do the same thing for our LTI 1.3 tools

agschmid · ‎03-14-2022

Instructure reply to our ticket: After speaking to our engineers about this, we learned that this is unfortunately not supported with LTI 1.3 tools at this time.
