canvas-lms-api

What problem does it solve?

It removes the manual, error-prone work of building and updating Canvas course structure (modules, pages, and files) by providing repeatable API patterns for programmatic synchronization.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Module management: Find or create modules, set ordering, and safely re-run syncs without duplicating content.
• Page workflows: Create or update Canvas wiki pages using slugs (page_url) and consistent HTML generation.
• File upload and linking: Perform Canvas’s required multi-step uploads and inject the resulting file URLs into page HTML so links stay valid after overwrites.
• Course sync automation: Drive a sync script from a local course_structure.json blueprint and upload-first strategy for reliable dependencies.

Quick Start

Paste the skill’s Sync workflow into a Python script, replace config.py values (domain, course IDs, token), then run your sync to create/update modules, pages, and linked uploads in Canvas.
