What you can build

Pull courses, assignments and grades into your own overview, and remind students about missing work from your chat.

Your chat writes it as a Hypamoon adapter from the docs above. Reading starts after you click Allow in the portal, and every write waits for your approval, one call at a time. How adapters work

Good to know

  • Your adapter uses a fixed key: you paste it once in the Hypamoon portal, never in the chat, and it only goes to the API host you allow.
  • If you host it yourself, the API of your own installation must be reachable over HTTPS from the internet, so the adapter can call it.
  • Canvas is open source and offered as a hosted service by Instructure. Real time events go through Canvas Live Events, which an admin sets up.

Canvas LMS is a name of its owner, used here only to describe the software. This page is not an official integration and Hypamoon has no partnership with Canvas LMS. Found something that changed? Tell us at support.

Tool not listed? Ask the chat to check its API.

The same three checks work for any software. Your chat reads the vendor's own docs and tells you what it found.

Say this in your chat

Check if [software] has an open API that a Hypamoon adapter can use: public API docs, a key or token I can create myself without asking the vendor, and versions or a changelog. Link the pages you used.

Fill in the name of your software. Checking needs no connection to Hypamoon.
