Education APIs

US school and college data dominates. College Scorecard, from the Department of Education, reports costs, admissions, graduation rates and outcomes by school or program, and the Urban Institute's Education Data Portal adds yearly district and civil-rights data with no key. DistrictAPI finds school districts by address. Outside the US, UniDb covers UK universities and the Hipo Universities List maps world university names to email domains.

Choosing an Education API

Is there a free Education API?

Yes. College Scorecard, Education Data Portal API (Urban Institute), Universities List (Hipo University Domains List) and College ROI are free to use, and DistrictAPI and UniDb have a free tier alongside paid plans.

Which Education APIs work without an API key?

Education Data Portal API (Urban Institute), Universities List (Hipo University Domains List) and College ROI need no key or sign-up, so you can try them with a plain request.

Can I call an Education API from front-end JavaScript?

Education Data Portal API (Urban Institute), Universities List (Hipo University Domains List) and College ROI allow cross-origin requests and need no key, so they work straight from the browser. For the others, call them from your server so your key stays private.

Education Data Portal API (Urban Institute), College ROI and DistrictAPI permit commercial use.

Which Education APIs work with AI agents?

DistrictAPI has both an MCP server and an OpenAPI spec. College ROI has an MCP server, so an AI agent can call it directly.
