Why explore the APIs?
We know there are lots of APIs out there. Here are a few reasons to develop using Pearson’s APIs.
• Pearson's datasets can be used for free
• Work with unique content from one of the first publishers of its size & scale to provide open access via APIs to content
• Communicate directly with Pearson about our content and APIs via feedback and forums
• They’re RESTful APIs which means they’re built for the web, offer browser cacheability, and improved performance
• High quality curated content from people who truly know their stuff. Plus curated content fits really well with crowd sourced material.
