[ARCHIVED] Canvas Commons - Share to Commons via API

[NadavKehila]

I have been reviewing the various API docs for Canvas LMS, Canvas Commons, and so on. I am trying to find an API that will utilise the "Share to Commons" feature for courses that I have created. Does such an API exist?

Hi @NadavKehila 

Unfortunately, we don't have an option to share content to Commons with API. From what I found, Commons behaves like an external tool in Canvas, so you won't be able to share the content to it using Canvas API.

You can create a an idea conversation about this. 

How do I create a new idea conversation in the Instructure Community?

This is no longer the case, you can use the API to add content in Commons. Here is a link to the Canvas Commons API: https://lor.instructure.com/docs/api/#api-Resources-ListResources
