Downloading Canvas Submission Comments in Python

First, set up Python (Instructions)

Next, install the Python API wrapper for Canvas (Instructions, or just type

pip install canvasapi

at the command line).

Next download the Python script and save it to your computer. Finally..

  1. Request an API key through my school’s Canvas instance (Instructions here)
  2. Modify the script to add my API URL, Key, and the Course ID (I got the course ID by looking at the web URL / address at the top of my browser when going to my Canvas course)
  3. Run the script, dumping it to a text file (I named the script “canvassubmissions.py”, so I ran “python3 canvassubmissions.py > comments.txt” in my terminal window.
