In Canvas Data Portal, is (or will) grade_change log be made available?

[galyenk]

We have been using the API for quite some time to pull down reports on grade changes (grade change log). Let me know if I'm wrong, but I'm not seeing this data as available in the canvas data portal downloads. 

Is there a plan for this to be a part of the canvas data portal? (Is there a reason why this data and gradebook history information is being left off?)

We're aware of the need for better grades data in Canvas Data. Due to some architectural choices made in Canvas a long time ago, this is currently something we can only get via the API, but we have a project scoped that will fix this architectural issue. Once that project has been completed we can start the work of adding grades data to Canvas Data.

Roundabout way of saying that you're not missing anything, we're aware of the need, and we're working on something!

Great! Makes sense, and so glad it's on the roadmap for the future!

Please kick this up on the priority list.  As a new user, we haven't implemented the API yet and we really need to get final end of semester grades via the data portal.
