Canvas LMS tenancy (Instructure) is one of 14 APIs that [Harvard University](https://apis.io/providers/harvard/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include LMS, Canvas, Instructure, Teaching and Learning, and Tenant.

canvas.harvard.edu CNAMEs to harvard-vanity.instructure.com. The Canvas REST API is live on that hostname and returns a well-formed JSON 401 to an anonymous caller, which makes it the best-behaved error contract answering on a harvard.edu name - and it is entirely Instructure's. Any LTI or Caliper conformance in this stack is the vendor's certification, which is why neither is credited to Harvard in conformance/.
