Hello, I have an API endpoint that returns blocks of a course. I want to convert these blocks into iframes such that I can render them on any platform. Is it something I can achieve using lti.  
Example of a scenario I’m trying to achieve. I have an edx server where an API is installed, this API has an endpoint returning blocks of a course, is it possible to setup the lti provider on this server with the API such that endpoint returns an iframe or details to construct the iframe such that it can be render on a server that attempts to access that endpoint the lti consumer. If it’s possible any idea of steps I can follow to achieve this or what are the alternatives I have to achieve something similar.

Thank you.

@oma0256 Have a look at the LTI provider capabilities of Open edX, that might be what you are looking for:
