The Ed-Fi API Publisher is a utility that can be used to move moves 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 primary user groups for API Publisher are:

If a source API supports the "Change Queries" feature, the Ed-Fi API Publisher will perform a full publishing of the source data on the first run, and then will only publish changed data to the target on subsequent runs. The change versions that have been published to a particular target are maintained in a configuration store automatically for each source/target combination.
