Need more? Name any other Canvas Data 2 data the API returns, and the AI adds it to the connector.
03Credentials
Credentials you will need.
- OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token)
Canvas Data 2 uses OAuth 2.0 (client ID, client secret, refresh token). You add the credentials once, when the AI asks for them, and it tells you where to create them in Instructure if you need help.
04How it works
How it works in DataMind.
-
Pick Canvas Data 2.
Open Lake, pick Canvas Data 2 in the source picker and name the connection. Connect Any API opens with a ready prompt that points the AI at the Canvas Data 2 API docs.
-
Answer a few questions.
The AI reads the Canvas Data 2 documentation, then asks which credentials you will use, which data to sync (for example courses and enrollments), whether you want a one-time load or a recurring sync, and which accounts or filters apply.
-
Your data lands in Lake.
It builds the connector, tests it and shows you sample rows. Then Canvas Data 2 data loads into your Lake on your schedule, ready for the Warehouse, DataPrism BI and AI Minds.
