What it is and what it does
edx-ccx-keys is a specialized library for the edX platform that defines opaque key types for Custom Courses for EdX (CCX). It builds on edx-opaque-keys to provide course identifiers and locators specific to CCX, abstracting the internal representation so that course references remain stable even if the underlying storage format changes.
The package is part of the broader edX codebase and is intended for developers working within or extending the edX platform. It has minimal dependencies (edx-opaque-keys and six) and is marked production-stable, making it suitable for production edX deployments that need to work with custom course instances.
Use it for
- Building edX plugins or extensions that need to reference or create custom course instances
- Integrating with edX platform APIs that require opaque course keys for custom courses
- Maintaining stable course identifiers across edX CCX workflows
