The Ed-Fi Alliance is pleased to announce the initial release of Ed-Fi Admin App 4.0. This new application replaces the legacy Ed-Fi ODS Admin App and was developed in partnership with Education Analytics.
We’re excited to announce the 0.7 release milestone for the Ed-Fi Data Management Service (DMS).This release focuses on multi-tenancy foundations, operational cost optimizations, and improved performance for scalable deployments.
The Ed-Fi Alliance is excited to announce the release of Ed-Fi ODS Admin API v2.3. This update brings several new features and improvements designed to enhance usability, security, and cross-platform support.
We are excited to announce the release of Ed-Fi ODS/API v7.3.1 and MetaEd 4.6. ODS/API v7.3.1 adds support for Data Standard 6.0, alongside existing support for versions 5.2 and 4.0. Below is a summary of what’s new.
User Story: as an education agency staff member, I want to view the data loaded into the Ed-Fi ODS/API, so that I can compare to my local source of truth and ensure the correct information has been loaded.
Solutions: Use an API client to access the ODS/API, using key/secret credentials issued by the platform host. The ODS/API's Open API files ("swagger.json" metadata) provide documentation of available resources, and there are many robust tools that can read this file to pre-create HTTP requests for you. Bruno is currently my favorite such tool; Postman and Swagger UI are more well-known alternatives.
What about database access as an alternative? And how do these API clients help solve this problem? Read on for more on these topics.
