What is the difference between Canvas Data Services and the Canvas Data Portal?

[debbie_ellis]

Data is not an area of expertise for me, but I would like to know more about the data we can get from Canvas. We have the Canvas Data Portal, and I just discovered Canvas Data Services. What is the difference between the two?

Canvas Data Portal is the existing (eventual legacy) schema and file list for Canvas Data v1.

Canvas Data Portal 

Data Services Portal is the current location for Canvas Live Events including subscriptions and documentation.

How do I use the Data Services Portal? 

I think the plan is to move Canvas Data v2 documentation and management to Data Services Portal when it becomes available.
