Problem
A new vendor wishes to exchange data with a school system directly via the API.
Solution
Use MappingEDU to align the vendor's data fields to the appropriate API resources, as customized by the education agency.
Discussion
MappingEDU allows data sets to be mapped to customized API endpoints by uploading the Swagger url.
Begin by formatting and loading the vendor's data fields as shown in 1.1 - Format a Source Standard for Upload and 1.2 - Upload a Source Standard.
Then, from the "Data Standards" menu, choose "View All Standards" and click "Create Standard".
