Ed-Fi Technology Suite

Ed-Fi ODS / API Platform

The Ed-Fi ODS / API Platform is a secure transactional system that integrates data from multiple source systems and applications. It provides a REST-based interface for data exchange, serving as a production-ready reference implementation of an Ed-Fi API built on the Ed-Fi Data Standard.
