Aeries Software enables authorized vendors to access data through the Aeries API and the OneRoster API. These integration methods are preferred for both vendors and districts. For vendors who cannot support an API connection, we offer alternative options to automate data extraction from Aeries according to your specified needs.
Request a Custom Data Extract Process
Districts hosted by Aeries can request assistance from our Integrations Team to configure scheduled data extraction processes. An Integration Engineer can help your district create a process that will query data from Aeries, modify it as needed, and send it to vendors that do not support an API connection.
Each vendor may have slightly different requirements, but the basic steps for this process are outlined below:
Contact your vendor and collect as much information as possible:
- Any documentation related to an Aeries SIS integration
- File format, filenames, file layouts (fields/headers/delimiters)
- File Transfer Protocol (SFTP/FTP) information, credentials, and file sending schedule
- School Codes to be included
- Student Statuses to be included (Active, Pre-enrolled, Inactive, etc.)
- Contact information for the vendor
Submit a support ticket:
- Go to support.aeries.com and enter a ticket requesting a new vendor integration for your district. Provide all the collected vendor information in the ticket.
* Please do not provide unsecured passwords. A secure link will be provided.
- Go to support.aeries.com and enter a ticket requesting a new vendor integration for your district. Provide all the collected vendor information in the ticket.
Collaboration with an Integration Engineer:
- An Integration Engineer will be assigned to work with you on the process. We have many templates for custom data integrations with common vendors.
