June 2023: On behalf of the Ed-Fi community, we are pleased to announce the release of API Publisher 1.0. For more details see What's New (APIPUB). |
Overview
...
The Ed-Fi API Publisher is a utility that can be used to move data from one Ed-Fi ODS/API instance to another ODS/API instance of the same version (i.e ODS/API 6.1 → ODS/API 6.1). It operates as a standard API client against both API endpoints (source and target) and thus it does not require any special network configuration, direct ODS database access or a particular database engine. From a data security/privacy perspective, it is also subject to all authorization performed by the Ed-Fi ODS API endpoints with which it communicates.
The API Publisher is made to accommodate the following user stories:
As an IT professional
...
at the state or district level,
...
my objective is to securely and accurately transfer data between ODS/API instances of the same version.
...
This ensures minimal data transmission errors, maintains data quality, and enables real-time reporting and analytics.
Primary features of API Publisher includes:
- Publishing, or copying, data between Ed-Fi ODS/API instances of the same version. API Publisher supports a push, pull and publish strategies, see README.md for more details.
- Retry support for failed records
- Remediation scripting support to attempt to fix re-occurring data publishing errors using Node.Js
- Ed-Fi extension support including Education Preparation Programs
- Change queries, which will allow only changed data to be copied in subsequent runs
