API

A simple way to connect.

An API is a way for one computer program to ask another for information. Ours starts with learning topics, article details, and data release status.

What is available now?

Read-only JSON for this site's educational content, framework, and source-labeled county snapshot. No personal records or consumer purchase observations are released.

Use the host you are visiting for requests. These read-only JSON files update when the website is republished. They contain only public educational resources. Query-based share credit does not change the data. Future releases will identify their scope and license.
