Free Wide Audience Trial Request
In the Wide Audience Trial teachers and students can try out Smartsearch in any course.
This requires an administrator of the Canvas instance to create a Developer Key.
Developer key “A developer key allows an application to request access to a user’s information. In all cases, the user must authorize the application to act on his/her behalf. If the user authorizes an app, Canvas generates an API token and securely responds to a request from the external application with the generated token. The app can then store that token and use it to perform the information requests that it has access to.”
Free Personal Trial Request
In the Personal Trial a teacher can try out Smartsearch in their own course.
This requires providing a personal Canvas API Token .
