# Canvas Parent API

> Query Canvas LMS (Instructure) from a shell with curl and a bearer access token instead of running the canvas-parent-mcp server — courses, grades, assignments, submissions, calendar, planner, announcements, conversations, discussions, and files for yourself or a linked observee. Use when you want Canvas data without the MCP, in a script, or on a machine where the MCP isn't installed.
