LTI Id - how to find with LTI 1.x integrations

[RobertUnm]

Looking at Hide LTI by default javascript  -- , how to find LTI Id using LTI 1.x Integrations? (unsure if LTI Id only exists with LTI 1.3 Integrations): https://github.com/KyleCole90/Canvas-Branding/blob/main/Javascript/Hide%20LTI%20by%20default.js

@RobertUnm There may be other ways but if you go to a course that has the LTI enabled and click on it, it shows there in the URL after the "external_tools" part.  For example, this is the LTI ID for Teams classes for us: external_tools/2980, so 2980.  Again, I am guessing there are other ways too.

Hope this helps!

Looks like can hide LTI by default via going to Course and then Settings->Navigation->'LTI Tool Name'->disable->Save.

However, api/v1/accounts/1/external_tools/LTI Id (via hovering over LTI link)/?course_navigation[default]=disabled just yields 'The specified resource does not exist'

@RobertUnm Hiding it in the Navigation area will hide it for that course, the API route hides it for the entire instance.  The API I used also included a name piece so it was:

https://school.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/1/external_tools/LTI  ID?course_navigation[default]=disabled&name=name of LTI

For example to hide Microsoft Teams classes it was:

https://school.instructure.com/api/v1/accounts/1/external_tools/2980?course_navigation[default]=disabled&name=Microsoft  Teams classes

Is it possible to hide LTI Tool in Navigation only for all courses at a account/subaccount level?

[nwilson7]

@RobertUnm You should be able to switch out the number after /accounts/ (in the sample we both used it is a "1"), with the number that corresponds to the sub-account you want to alter.

Thank You, but still getting "The specified resource does not exist."

Hey @RobertUnm 

I am not sure if there is a way to do that honestly. What LTI are you trying to hide at the sub-account level? Are you trying to make it so that it is visible in the course navigation for only teachers and not students? Or are you just trying to make it so that it is disabled by default in the sub-account courses navigation? 

[RobertUnm · Accepted solution]

Verified can hide LTI (external_tool) via API api/v1/accounts/Id/external_tools/Id with course_navigation[default]=disabled.

However, this does not work if instructor (someone) in GUI manually hides/unhides LTI first (enable/disable)
