Answer

To add a calendar feed from a Canvas course into another calendar app such as Outlook Calendar or Google Calendar.

First, navigate to the desired Canvas course.

Click in the browser address bar, to access the url for example:

https://canvas.gsa.ac.uk/courses/2491

Edit the url so that api/v1/ is pasted in between https://canvas.gsa.ac.uk/ and courses/2491.
