Steps Authenticate with client_credentials OAuth to the Ed-Fi ODS /oauth/token endpoint using your vendor application client_id and client_secret GET /ed-fi/students with a limit and offset to enumerate students within the claimSet your application is authorized for GET /ed-fi/studentSectionAssociations filtered by schoolId and schoolYear to retrieve section enrollment links GET /ed-fi/grades filtered by studentSectionAssociation reference to retrieve grading period grades Use the Ed-Fi Change Queries API (/ed-fi/students?minChangeVersion=N) with the last known change version to implement incremental sync Retrieve the current max change version from /changeQueries/v1/availableChangeVersions before each sync run
Known gotchas Ed-Fi claimSets control which resources and operations your application can access; a missing claimSet assignment causes 403 on valid endpoints The Ed-Fi natural key for students is studentUniqueId, not an auto-generated id; use it for deduplication across ODS instances Change version numbers are not guaranteed to be contiguous; gaps are normal and should not be treated as missing data
