Hi Tobe, I guess these are the APIs you are looking for (Favorites - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation ). When new course is created, you should have the course id and user id. And here is a sample: /api/v1/users/self/favorites/courses/<course_id>?as_user_id=<user_id> Best, Mu ... View more

Hi Jaap, To enable the auto-open feature, the file has to be uploaded to the Canvas site. You may consider use "Blueprint" to push the pdf to multiple sites and/or use Canvas API to upload the pdf to multiple sites. Once you done that, you could use Canvas API to embed the pdf to anywhere support rich text editor. Here is an example.  <p><a class="instructure_file_link instructure_scribd_file auto_open" title="Syllabus_Sample.pdf" href="https://community.canvaslms.com/courses/*******/files/ *******/ download?verifier=* ******* &amp;wrap=1">Syllabus_Sample.pdf</a></p> As you may see, the "auto_open" class would be the " variable" you are looking for. Since I have very little knowledge about the DocViewer in Canvas, I'm not sure if this is the best way to solve your problem. So just post it here for your reference. Best, Mu ... View more

For assignment, here are the API endpoints (Assignment Overrides - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation ). For discussion and quiz, you may need to create discussion/quiz as an assignment. This may not be the best practice, so just for your reference. ... View more

 @mhinojosa ‌, the api to delete/conclude a course is this one(Courses - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation ). You may use Postman (Postman | Supercharge your API workflow ) to quickly test the course deletion on Beta or Test server. Once you are familiar with the api and Postman, then you could follow this instruction (Running a collection ) for batch delete courses. ... View more

Your call should like this: https://XXX.instructure.com/api/v1/users/XXX/enrollments?grading_period_id=XXX , and put the token in the header. ... View more

After creating the grading periods, it is just a matter of calling enrollments API. ... View more

I am not quite understand your question, so I will just try my best to answer it. Instead of creating multiple terms, you could create multiple grading period to differentiate students' grades by date. You may refer to this post for how it works (How do I use grading periods in a course? ).  ... View more

Roll Call Attendance is a LTI tool. Don't think it is addressed in Canvas API. There are some alternatives to get the attendance report. Please refer to this great post (https://community.canvaslms.com/thread/8632#comment-30630 ). ... View more

Oh, right, it should be this one ... View more

That would be a reasonable solution. But if you want really accurate and up-to-date data, here is another solution using Canvasbadge LTI. By enabling this LTI, you can set auto issue a badge to user when he/she complete a module. And then use this API (https://www.canvabadges.org/api/v1/badges/public/[userID]/[canvas domain].json) to verify the the badge status, which is also the Module completion status. Still this is not a perfect solution, but just for your reference. ... View more
