RateMyProfessors professor ratings
All of a professor's RateMyProfessors ratings, newest first, 20 per page: course, date, quality, clarity, helpfulness, difficulty, would take again, grade, attendance, textbook, online, for credit, tags, text, thumbs up and down and the professor's reply. Also the professor's summary (department, school, overall rating, difficulty, would-take-again share, number of ratings) and the courses rated with their counts; pass a course code as course to see only that course's ratings. Pass next_page back as page; null on the last page.
Every response includes credits_used: the credits this call cost.
Parameters
| name | type | description |
|---|---|---|
idrequired | string | The professor's id (the number in ratemyprofessors.com/professor/<id>) or that URL. Example: 1835982 |
course | string | Only ratings for this course code, e.g. MATH221 (see courses in the response). |
page | integer | Page number. Pass next_page from the previous response; next_page is null on the last page. |
Every endpoint also takes fresh, raw, fields (see lean responses and caching).
Example
curl "https://api.api.sh/ratemyprofessors/v1/ratings?id=1835982" \
-H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY" import os, requests
res = requests.get(
"https://api.api.sh/ratemyprofessors/v1/ratings",
params={"id": "1835982"},
headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json() const url = new URL("https://api.api.sh/ratemyprofessors/v1/ratings");
url.searchParams.set("id", "1835982");
const res = await fetch(url, { headers: { "x-api-key": process.env.APISH_KEY } });
if (!res.ok) throw new Error(`${res.status} ${await res.text()}`);
const data = await res.json(); Response
A JSON object with the fields described above, plus raw (the source's own data), cached, fetched_at and credits_used. Errors return {"success": false, "error": "…"} with the HTTP status (see errors). A lookup that ran but found nothing (404) costs the price above; refused calls and errors on our side are free (what's charged).
