SimpleAPI Session Authentication

Last updated: 8 Apr 2025

When serving HTTP requests from your SimpleAPI handler, you can now use Canvas session information to authenticate your endpoints.

This allows you to restrict requests to only logged in users, or be even more specific in your authorization by limiting certain requests to just patients, just staff, or based on any information specific to that logged in user.

Using this will allow you to create and serve responses that are aware of who the logged in user is.

See SimpleAPI Authentication Options for more details.
