Overview of Canvas

The Canvas API allows you to tap into the power of the Canvas Learning Management System, enabling educators and administrators to automate tasks, synchronize educational tools, and manage courses and users programmatically. It provides endpoints for accessing course information, user details, assignments, and more, which can be incredibly useful for creating customized educational experiences and streamlining administrative workflows. With Pipedream, you can harness these capabilities to trigger actions, connect with other apps and services, and create complex automations without writing extensive code.

Overview of Node

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:
