Notionvas

This makes use of the Canvas LMS API as well as the Notion API to plug Canvas assignments into Notion

General Instructions

1. Download the folder
2. Follow setup instructions below
3. Run the Python script every time you want to update the database

Notes

• If the files are still in a folder together and the preferences are set up correctly, you should just be able to run the Python script and it will display your assignments in the Notion database!
• If there are any problems, please contact me on Discord @ihyperspacei or open an issue here
