Steps
Read the https://purl.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-nrps/claim/namesroleservice claim from the LTI launch id_token to get the context_memberships_url
Request a service access token from the platform's OAuth 2 token endpoint with scope https://purl.imsglobal.org/spec/lti-nrps/scope/contextmembership.readonly
GET the context_memberships_url with Authorization: Bearer and Accept: application/vnd.ims.lti-nrps.v2.membershipcontainer+json
Follow the Link: rel='next' header for pages until exhausted; collect all member objects with their roles and status
Include a since query parameter (ISO 8601) on subsequent calls to retrieve only members whose status changed after the timestamp
Reconcile the response against your local member table: add new members, update changed roles, mark absent members as dropped
Known gotchas
The since parameter is optional and many platforms do not implement it; always reconcile the full membership list if since returns the same count as without it
Members with status Inactive are still enrolled but should not access content; status Deleted means they were removed from the course
The service access token has its own expiry independent of the launch id_token; cache and refresh it rather than re-requesting on every page fetch
