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:
- States and district collaboratives staff using Ed-Fi
- IT administrators responsible for Ed-Fi ODS/API platforms
Primary features of API Publisher includes:
- Publishing, or copying, data between Ed-Fi ODS/API instances of the same version
- 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
