Learning Hub

The Learning Hub is a data sharing platform that is independent from LearningBuilder. It connects organizations that publish event data (such as a Practitioner completing a course) to the organizations that want to consume that data (e.g. to satisfy application requirements).
Overview
The organizations that participate in the Learning Hub are identified as Publishers or Subscribers.
Publishers put data into the hub.
Subscribers pull data out of the hub and do something with it.
The primary benefits of the Learning Hub are:
Publishers and Subscribers do not call each other’s APIs directly, ensuring that they cannot adversely impact the performance of the other party’s systems;
Standard APIs make it easier to integrate with LearningBuilder by reducing or eliminating custom code.
The Learning Hub is NOT specific to LearningBuilder! It can also be used to import data from a 3rd party system into LearningBuilder, or to export data from LearningBuilder out to a 3rd party system.

Calling the APIs
The Learning Hub exposes multiple APIs for different tasks. Those are listed in the following section.
All of the APIs share a common hostname and authentication system.
API Hostnames
LB Env. | Lambda URL |
|---|---|
PROD | |
UAT | |
SUPPORT | |
QA | |
DEV | |
TEST | https://test-all-learningHub-v1.learningbuilder-api-test.net |
Authentication
System administrators: see https://heuristicsolutions.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/~499343847/pages/3715269677
Endpoints in this API use one of two different authentication methods, which are documented in the individual API pages.
Method | Explanation |
|---|---|
| An AWS access/secret key used by system administrators for system configuration and provisioning when API Keys may not be configured yet. When using Postman, pass these as an AWS Signature |
| Credentials assigned to a specific user or client, consisting of a {Base64EncodedCredentials} = BASE64(userId + ":" + apiKey)
Authorization: Basic {Base64EncodedCredentials} |
API Documentation
API | Purpose |
|---|---|
Allows Publishers to put data into the Hub, and to view their data already in the Hub. | |
Allows Subscribers to get data out of the Hub. |
