The Data Hub is a tool in the Learning Environment for generating and accessing data extracts. The data export framework is the API layer that the functionality of the Data Hub is built upon. These routes let you gather information about the back-end service and extract it in a useful format you can use with other tools for analysis or reporting (for example, CSV).
