This CCC Data Warehouse user guide provides support and implementation steps for the Canvas data Data 1.0 direct access service exclusively for California Community Colleges.

...

The CCC Data Warehouse can optionally support the inclusion of Canvas data. When a college (or district) elects to have their Canvas data added to the CCC Data Warehouse, these data can then be accessed through a direct connection (secured through the use of a site-to-site VPN). As Canvas data is managed at a district level, each college in a multi-college district may need to opt-in for their data to be supported in the DW. Colleges may request to implement this service by contacting their College Experience Manager (CEM) through CCCTC Enabling Services.
