How to get a consumer key and shared secret
To get a consumer key and shared secret
Create an account at one of the Canvas Credentials servers below using the same email address as your primary Canvas ID. For the best experience, we recommend choosing the server nearest you; this is where your data will be stored.
- Canvas Credentials United States (U.S.)
- Canvas Credentials Canada (CA)
- Canvas Credentials Australia (AU)
- Canvas Credentials Europe (EU)
Once signed in, select the profile icon in the upper right corner [1], then Organization Profile from the drop-down [2]. Then click the Canvas Badges privacy and security settings link [3].
Select the App integrations tab [1].
Select the Canvas LTI card to see your shared secret and consumer key [2].
Copy and paste the shared secret [1] and consumer key [2] into your Canvas instance under Settings.
We recommend installing Canvas Badges using the By URL method for non-U.S. servers. We also offer custom XML in case you'd like to install Canvas Badges optionally available at the sub-account or root level.
