D2L Brightspace Migration

Atomic Reactor provides a migration pipeline for importing data from D2L Brightspace. It supports OAuth 2.0 (PKCE) authentication, incremental sync, and high-volume bulk import via the Brightspace Data Platform (BDP).

Capabilities

Capability	Description
Connection management	CRUD for D2L OAuth connections per tenant
OAuth 2.0 PKCE	Secure authorization flow with Brightspace
Course import	Import courses and content from Brightspace
Roster sync	Synchronize user enrollments and roles
Gradebook migration	Import grades and grade items
Sync engine	Incremental sync with conflict detection
BDP bulk import	High-volume import via Brightspace Data Platform datasets
Migration jobs	Background job tracking with status and progress

Getting started

Create a connection — register a D2L OAuth connection for your tenant:
Terminal window
```
POST /api/integrations/d2l/connections
```
Authorize — complete the OAuth 2.0 PKCE flow with Brightspace.

Import — start a course import and track progress:

POST /api/integrations/d2l/connections/{id}/import
GET  /api/integrations/d2l/connections/{id}/jobs/{job_id}

Sync or cut over — trigger incremental syncs, or perform a final migration cutover when ready:
Terminal window
```
POST /api/integrations/d2l/connections/{id}/sync
POST /api/integrations/d2l/connections/{id}/cutover
```

For very large datasets, use BDP bulk import (POST /api/integrations/d2l/connections/{id}/bdp-import) instead of per-entity imports.

Notes

The D2L integration is gated behind the d2l feature flag (enabled by default). All endpoints live under /api/integrations/d2l/ and require authentication.
