Is there an api for codecademy that would allow me to track students progress via HTTP?
I don’t believe there is.
Is there any reason why tracking via the schools dashboard is inconvenient?
Hello @tansaku, unfortunately at this time there is not an API. As @jacobsandersen asked, it would be good to know what you are thinking and if you have checked out existing Teacher resources.
We have great resources for teachers: https://www.codecademy.com/schools/curriculum
Below are Codecademy’s resources to help instructors teach computer science to students of all ages and backgrounds.
- Classroom Tracking
- Class Resources, including lesson plans and curriculum
- Teacher Training
For your information and convenience, we also created a Teacher only forum category for you to get help, connect with other teachers and learn! http://discuss.codecademy.com/c/teachers
Thank you, and Happy Learning!

@alexcommunitymgr I think it’d be nice if the achivements, projects, progress, and tracks API URLs got added back in. Was there a reason for removing them?
I don’t recall every having an api for those. Projects urls are unaccessible to normal users (pro only). We have changed a lot of urls over time.
Thanks.
Yeah, we’d like to be able to automate a few things, such as sending people an email once they’ve completed a particular track etc.
Perhaps instead of having an API and you writing those features, you could make this a feature request for Codecademy itself?

It’s possible they never existed, I’m only assuming they do because /api/v1/users/username returns those URLs, and I’ve noticed other API’s get removed, so I thought maybe that was what happened to them 
@tansaku If people enable it in their mail settings, they can get an email whenever they complete a course. Probably not as much customizability/control as you want, but there might be more options someday
