How does Edlink support OneRoster?

by Zeke Cirilli

Edlink supports the importation of data though the OneRoster 1.1 standard. Data can be imported into Edlink via both a OneRoster-compliant file and through systems that support the OneRoster API.

OneRoster API Support

Edlink supports OneRoster 1.1 API connections for any system that supports the standard, including the following:

  • Aspen
  • ClassGather
  • Classlink
  • Infinite Campus
  • PowerSchool
  • Skyward

To connect a OneRoster source to Edlink, the administrator of the student information system or data platform must use the Edlink dashboard for school/district administrators.

The administrator will input the OneRoster Server URL, OneRoster Client ID, and OneRoster Secret into the provided fields. Once the connection is created, Edlink will import the data from the system into Edlink via the OneRoster 1.1 API.
