Purely a guess: in Python, try making the conversation IDs a list of strings instead of one comma-separated string?

You might consider using the API to request an account report, which will give you the same enrollments CSV file you can get through Settings/Reports in the UI. You submit the request, check the progress, and when it's ready, download the file.
I have a Python function I use to do this and would be happy to post it.

Hi,
Canvas API calls by default return pages of 10 items. For more info on this, see Pagination - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation.
For examples of handling pagination in various situations and programming languages, see Solved: Handling Pagination - Instructure Community.

I believe there's an app that enables you to subscribe to RSS feeds in Slack, which would then enable you to receive updates from https://status.instructure.com/history.rss.

I think the restrict_enrollments_to_course_dates parameter only controls enrollments. To control viewing, I think you might have to update the course settings, in particular the restrict_student_past_view and restrict_student_future_view parameters.

I was perplexed for a moment until I saw this under Edit a user: "To modify a user's login, see the documentation for logins." I think you want Edit a user login.

In Courses - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation, you'll see this in the section "A Course object looks like:"
// the account associated with the course
"account_id": 81259,
Create a new course and Update a course act on the account_id aka subaccount.

Following up, if you have an existing custom JavaScript file, you'd download it through that interface by clicking the View File link, edit it to include the new JavaScript, and then upload the edited file.
If you don't already have any custom JavaScript, you'd simply upload the file containing the JavaScript you'd like to add.

@erik_gustafson, did you ever find a solution to your issue? I did a lot of work with outcomes and outcome groups using Python via the API a few years ago. I've been hoping to find/make time to refresh my memory on all that and see if I could offer you anything helpful, but that unfortunately hasn't happened and seems unlikely to happen anytime soon.

A couple years ago I used Python to identify Turnitin assignments using LTI or the API. I have no idea if these tests still work and unfortunately don't have time to test them, but I offer them in case you might find them helpful:
lti = 'external_tool' in assignment['submission_types']
api = 'turnitin_enabled' in assignment and assignment['turnitin_enabled'] and 'external_tool' not in assignment['submission_types']
Good luck!

You could do an SIS import via the API using the sis_imports endpoint. (I'd be happy to share the Python code I use to do that).

Does your use case require that you restore it using the API? If not, I'd try doing a terms SIS import of the term with the status set to "active".
