Trouble using Canvas Live API?

[cassiehudson]

Hello, all. Friday I was using the Canvas Live API with no issues, but today all of my requests are met with response code 404 with the error message "The specified resource does not exist."

For example, one of my request URLs is: 

https://canvas.instructure.com:443/api/v1/courses/3735/discussion_topics/31636/entries

And the response body is:

{ "errors": [ { "message": "The specified resource does not exist." } ] }

when the same request on Friday provided the JSON for the discussion topic entries. Any thoughts on why this might be?

Are you trying to do this against canvas.instructure.com or your own instance at x.instructure.com?

I think the message indicates the course id or discussion id doesn't exist where you're looking.

Oh, wow--didn't even notice that the link was being generated in this way. I just started using Canvas Live last Friday and I honestly don't remember having to navigate specifically to my institution's link, but I just changed the URL from https://canvas.instructure.com/doc/api/live to https://unt.instructure.com/doc/api/live and it's working again  Thank you for taking the time to point out my oversight.
