Canvas LMS Enrollments API

openapi: 3.1.0
info:
  title: Canvas LMS REST Accounts Enrollments API
  description: 'The Canvas LMS REST API exposes the full learning-management surface — accounts, courses,

    enrollments, users, assignments, submissions, grades, outcomes, quizzes, modules, pages,

    discussions, files, conversations, calendar events, planner, and more — via

    `/api/v1` on any Canvas install (Free for Teacher at canvas.instructure.com,

    Canvas Cloud, or self-hosted).


    Authentication uses OAuth2 (RFC 6749). Tokens are issued via the

    `/login/oauth2/auth` and `/login/oauth2/token` endpoints; clients must be

    registered as a Developer Key in the target Canvas account. Manual personal

    access tokens may be created from a user''s profile for testing only.


    Pagination follows RFC 5988 with `Link` response headers (`rel="next"`,

    `"prev"`, `"first"`, `"last"`). Includes can be requested via the

    `include[]` query parameter on most resources. Admin users may impersonate

    other users by appending `as_user_id={id}` (Masquerading).


    This OpenAPI document covers the most-used endpoints across Accounts,

    Courses, Enrollments, Users, Assignments, Submissions, Modules, Discussions,

    Files, and Outcomes. The full surface (190+ resource groups) is documented

    at https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/all_resources.html and generated

    in the canvas-lms repo via `rake doc:openapi`.
