Best Practice - Connections and Security
Recommendation
Products should have the ability to allow for multiple Ed-Fi API connections with different key/secret combinations​.
Reasoning
In an ecosystem, data often needs to flow from one product to multiple other products or systems. For example, LEA systems may need to meet both API-based state-reporting requirements and connect to local LEA data systems and warehouses.
Implementation
Allow LEA IT staff to configure or select which currently supported API version to use in an API connection.
Allow LEA IT staff to set up multiple API connections, including – if applicable for the system – AP connections restricted to specific years of data.
