Canvas Data 2 API - Incremental Query Empty Files?

[l_dellar]

Hello

I was wondering if anybody else has encountered files returned by the incremental queries in the CD2 API being in empty parts?

In the screenshot we ran an incremental query but seem to consistently get a part 0 that's empty, that doesn't feel intended.

Thanks

Hi-

Check out the Technical FAQs for Canvas Data 2: Canvas Data 2 Technical Frequently Asked Questions - Instructure Community - 560958 (canvaslms.com)

At the bottom they address this. Some files may be empty except for headers, and the filenames are not sequential - this is due to the way they run independent jobs on the server and is perfectly normal.

Thanks for pointing that out, must have missed it 🙂
