Heriot-Watt Canvas (Instructure) is one of 6 APIs that [Heriot-Watt University](https://apis.io/providers/heriot-watt/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Learning Management, Canvas, LTI, and Teaching. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

The university's virtual learning environment, an Instructure Canvas tenancy at canvas.hw.ac.uk (CNAME hwu-vanity.instructure.com). Canvas ships a documented REST API and LTI 1.3 platform role as product features; at Heriot-Watt the API is present but closed — GET /api/v1/accounts returns 401 with an unauthenticated error and requires an institutionally issued OAuth2 token. The contract, the LTI certification and the API documentation all belong to Instructure, so none of it is saved under this institution. Recorded as a tenant relationship.
