Canvas LMS

Canvas GraphQL API

GraphQL endpoint exposing the Canvas object graph (courses, users, enrollments, assignments, submissions, modules, discussion topics, outcomes, account hierarchies, etc.). Permissions mirror the REST API. Includes a hosted GraphiQL explorer at /graphiql for query development. Authentication uses the same OAuth2 bearer tokens as the REST API.
