Nuku Learning Management (Instructure Canvas tenancy) is one of 10 APIs that [Victoria University of Wellington](https://apis.io/providers/victoria-university-of-wellington/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Learning Management, Canvas, Instructure, LTI, and Tenant. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Nuku is the university's brand for its learning-management system, an Instructure Canvas tenant at nuku.wgtn.ac.nz, which CNAMEs to wgtn-vanity.instructure.com. The Canvas REST API is present and live at /api/v1 — an anonymous call returns HTTP 401 {"status":"unauthenticated","errors":[{"message":"user authorisation required"}]} rather than a 404 — and requires a Canvas OAuth2 token issued to a VUW account. Browser sign-on redirects to the university's Microsoft Entra ID tenant via SAML. Canvas is an IMS LTI 1.3 platform, but that conformance is Instructure's, not the university's, and the contract is not saved here.
