Is it possible to move a page, file, assignment, or discussion from one course to another via API

[WillKP]

Lets say I have a page in course A can I move this page to course B via the API?

Hi Will,

I don't see any API that would do this.    Even when trying to accomplish something similar via the GUI, there's no option to "move" a page, discussion board, file, etc., only to import a copy from another course, and that import process involves several steps.

Hello @WillKP 

We understand that you are trying to use API to move content from one course to another. Technically, we do have API for content migrations here:

https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/content_migrations.html#method.content_migrations.create

There are many options as to where you'd prefer it to be inserted, if you want to change dates, etc. I believe this is what you're looking for. Additionally, we of course have other methods of copying content like using the "copy to" function, import existing content, sharing files, etc. and there are alternatives to running API. Hopefully this helps!
