Make API calls to Udacity API about blogman HOT 14 CLOSED

I am interested to work on this issue. Please assign it to me.

Can I work on this?

I tried to access the API. But it turns out that coursera deprecated their catalog APIs in 2017. I get this message instead.

@rajatmw1999 Please suggest the further course of action.

Wait, this means they dont provide APIs for their course information anymore??
Check out the web, i think there has to be another API. What is this Affiliate Program in this screenshot.
Try to make sure that you get a coursera API by reasearching a bit. If you can't get it, then go through the API of some other website that gives coding courses, like udacity or some other website.

from blogman.

Yeah. They don't provide APIs directly anymore. The screenshot above shows that, we can still access the coursera APIs, through their 'Affiliate program'. I tried applying for it, but a lot of details needed to be filled in. I thought the mentors should tell us how to proceed with that, otherwise, we could use APIs from other sites like Udemy, Udacity etc.

We are already using Udemy. We will need the coursera api as well. I suggest you enroll in the program and get the API keys.

from blogman.

Sure. Let me check out the details about it today.

So I checked this affiliate program. What I have understood is, they(coursera) want anyone who is requesting access to their APIs to adversite the courses on their website. And for that, they need the following details. Here is the screenshot of the entire page. The empty fields(ones where I could not understand what to fill in) are marked in red
Note: I intentionally blacked out my address fields because of privacy concerns.

These details are not ready yet. If the form is not proceeding further, try udacity or some other website you might feel provide good quality material.

I looked into the Udacity Course Catalog API today, but it seems they don't provide a public documentation/website for their APIs too. But I learned that there might be a way to access the API through a website called rapiapi.com. I'm still looking into this.

from blogman.

okay. keep me posted. Also, check if the rapidapi.com can help with Coursera APIs

Hi @rajatmw1999, I know it's kinda bummer, but udacity doesn't seem to make its course catalog apis public too. I found an old API though, but it gives 404 error now(seems to me that, this API was valid once but is now deprecated).
