This developer guide describes the processes for a Student Information System to develop the functionality in their platform to provide data to an Ed-Fi API to power the Chronic Absenteeism Starter Kit. 

The Guide is divided into three sections. We recommend you go through the following sections and subsections in order, but welcome you to skip forward when you are already knowledgeable about a topic.

I. Getting Data Flowing

II. Understanding Ed-Fi APIs

III. Tools and Best Practices

Next Steps

Upon completing development of the Ed-Fi API functionality, you can test the features with a customer or proceed on to applying for an Ed-Fi Starter Kit Data Partner Badge.
