"I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand." -Confucius
Rather than talk about data exchanges, let's see some in action. The following brief activities will allow you to see data flowing using an Ed-Fi API Sandbox.
These activities use the Ed-Fi ODS implementation of the Assessment API. Note that this implementation is only one possible implementation of the API and not the API itself (see Overview of Ed-Fi Standards and Technology on this point).
These activities use a browser-based toolkit called Swagger UI. This toolkit allows your browser to send requests to the API and receive responses from the API. You can read more about Swagger UI here.
