PowerSchool

Business software

Built when you ask for it

Sync PowerSchool student, section, attendance, and grade data into your warehouse. Ingest builds this connector the first time a customer asks for it, then keeps the tables current in a data warehouse you own, on the schedule you choose.

The PowerSchool connector syncs your K-12 student information system data into analytics-ready tables in your data warehouse. Pull students, sections, attendance, and grades from the PowerSchool API, with Ingest handling auth, pagination, and retries so the tables stay current.

What you would get

Each of these arrives as its own table, kept current on the schedule you choose:

  • Students
  • Sections
  • Attendance
  • Grades

How it gets built

  1. Choose PowerSchool when you set up a pipeline, with the warehouse it goes to and a schedule.
  2. Ingest reads PowerSchool's documentation, and you choose the tables you want.
  3. Ingest builds the connector and tests it against PowerSchool itself.
  4. A person at Ingest reviews and publishes it, and your pipeline starts on its own.

What you will need

OAuth 2.0 (client_credentials, per-plugin Client ID/Secret). Not self-serve: credentials come from registering a plugin in PowerSchool Admin, which requires an existing PowerSchool customer/district relationship. PowerSchool publishes its developer documentation behind a PowerSource login, so a customer account is needed to read it.

You enter it once, in a form in Ingest, and it is kept in a secret store set aside for your organization.

Questions

Does Ingest have a PowerSchool connector?
Not as a finished connector yet. Ingest builds it from PowerSchool's own documentation the first time a customer asks, tests it against the real service, and lists it once it passes.
Which warehouses can PowerSchool data go to?
Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL and Snowflake, in an account you own.
Do I need to write code?
No. Ingest builds, runs and maintains the connector. Someone with access to your warehouse connects it once, following a short guide.

PowerSchool API documentation: https://support.powerschool.com/developer

Setting up the destination is its own short guide, one per warehouse or lake: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob Storage, Apache Iceberg, Ingest Managed Lakehouse, MotherDuck, Postgres, Amazon Athena, Databricks, Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, MySQL / generic SQL, Snowflake.

Other sources Ingest connects for SaaS teams: Asana, Jira, Airtable, Clockify, Facebook Ads, Frankfurter.
