One request, clean JSON

Coursera search from Coursera: GET https://api.api.sh/coursera/v1/search. Every other education endpoint works the same way.

curl "https://api.api.sh/coursera/v1/search?q=python" \
  -H "x-api-key: $APISH_KEY"

import os, requests

res = requests.get(
    "https://api.api.sh/coursera/v1/search",
    params={"q": "python"},
    headers={"x-api-key": os.environ["APISH_KEY"]},
    timeout=120,
)
res.raise_for_status()
data = res.json()

Why API.SH for education data

Public data only: no logins, cookies or accounts on the source sites
One key and one JSON shape across 3 education platforms and 482 in all
Blocks, retries and parsing handled for you: no scraper to maintain
Pay per call; failed calls cost nothing
Also in n8n, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets and AI agents (MCP)

Compared with other data APIs

Other providers sell each platform as a separate actor, scraper or subscription. On API.SH every education platform is under one key and one balance, priced per call on the pricing page.
