API Features

Course CRUD

Create, update, delete courses. Set metadata, categories, difficulty levels, and publish status. Full course lifecycle management.

Bulk Upload

Upload a complete course with all modules, lessons, and content in a single API call. Perfect for LMS migrations and batch imports.

AI Generation

Generate study materials, quizzes, practice exercises, resources, and video searches using AI. 20% credit discount for API users.

Content Sections

Upload or generate 6 content types per lesson: study material, quiz, resources, practice, video, and summary.

Quota System

YouTube-style daily quota (10,000 units/day). Different costs per operation. Real-time quota tracking via headers.

Enterprise Security

SHA-256 hashed API keys, 60 req/min rate limiting, automatic credit refunds on AI failures, and ownership verification.

Authentication

All API requests require authentication via API key. Include your key in the request header:

Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_api_key

// or

X-API-Key: sk_live_your_api_key

Keys are hashed — stored as SHA-256 hashes, never in plaintext

Shown once — full key is only shown at creation, copy it immediately

Up to 5 keys — create multiple keys for different applications

Revocable — instantly revoke any key from the Developer Dashboard
