Obtaining & Submitting Canvas API Information

In order to add your college Canvas data to the CCC Data Warehouse, the Tech Center will work with the Canvas Data API to get information about or download your college’s Canvas Data files.

Note

The Way Canvas API Credentials Work

Any Canvas Data admin can generate API credentials, but the credentials are shared between all admin users in that [college] account. If you would like to grant access to other users or third-party partners to download files via the API, you can generate credentials and securely pass them to those users. However, if you need to revoke access for a user, you will need to regenerate the credentials and securely distribute the credentials again.
