Welcome

Welcome to GDSN Connect. Here you'll get an overview of the GDSN Connect API, powered by 1WorldSync, which lets you sync K-12 product data from GDSN for use in your software application.

The GDSN Connect Database (“GCDB”) was developed as part of an industry-wide effort to bring the power of GDSN into the hands of school districts and the software they already use to reduce the time it takes to setup and maintain their items used on menus and in inventory. The GCDB is a single, K-12 wide product data database that 1) all K-12 manufacturers can publish their product specifications into, and 2) that is available to the K-12 community to access that product information. KidsChoose, Inc. dba inTEAM (“inTEAM”) has partnered with 1WorldSync, the leading GDSN data pool, to make this data available to the entire K-12 community.

inTEAM has launched the GDSN Connect Search Hub, which is a free website available to the K-12 community to search for product information in the GCDB. inTEAM has also developed an API to streamline how authorized K-12 software providers can access GDSN product data through GDSN Connect and sync that data into their applications so their customers can use that data.

The GDSN Connect API makes it easy to get access to nutrients, allergens, ingredients, meal credits, and more for all your customer's products.

The K-12 community can search the GCDB directly using the free GDSN Connect Search Hub to find product information needed to build menus and manage procurements. inTEAM has also developed an API so authorized K-12 software providers can can sync GCDB product data into their software applications.
