# Canvas Archiver A command-line tool to archive Canvas LMS course content, including files, modules, and Panopto video recordings. ## Prerequisites - Go 1.21 or higher - [yt-dlp](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp) installed and in PATH ## Installation ```bash git clone git.directme.in/Joren/CanvasArchiver cd CanvasArchiver go build -o canvasarchiver ./cmd/canvasarchiver ``` ## Usage 1. Run the archiver: ```bash ./canvasarchiver ``` 2. On first run, you'll be prompted to authenticate: - Visit the provided OAuth URL - Authorize the application - Copy the authorization code back to the terminal 3. Enter your Course ID when prompted 4. The tool will download: - Regular course files (to `Course Files/`) - Module content (to `Modules/`) - Panopto recordings (to `Recordings/`) ## Configuration The following constants can be modified in `internal/config/config.go`: - `BaseURL`: Canvas instance URL - `ClientID`: OAuth client ID - `ClientSecret`: OAuth client secret - `PanoptoID`: Panopto external tool ID ## Authentication Credentials are stored in `credentials.json` after the first successful login. The refresh token is automatically used for subsequent runs. ## Notes - Files are organized to match Canvas structure - SubHeaders in modules create nested folder structures - Videos are downloaded with their original titles - Existing files are skipped to avoid re-downloading ## License This project is for educational purposes. Ensure you have permission to download course content.
