Notes

edX public courses

listCourses(school) lists initial provider course cards. Use a slug from an actual /school/ link. Pagination and complete catalog coverage are excluded. Empty or removed provider pages have no established empty-result contract.

getCourse(subject, courseSlug) reads public structured course metadata. Take both arguments together from one actual /learn/{subject}/{courseSlug} URL returned by listCourses. Arbitrary combinations are unproved. Provider names and learning outcomes retain source order. Prerequisites are the source statements, including “None” when supplied. Language is the source language code. Missing source fields may be absent.

Details come from the document’s Course JSON-LD, not a fully hydrated course interface. Neither operation establishes enrollment availability, free access, price, completion, or access to course content. Course dates, duration and workload are excluded.

getProgramCourses(programSlug) lists course members of the observed professional-certificate route, in the document's supplied frontend course order. Use a slug from a literal program link. Course URLs retain the source's double slash before learn. Take subject and courseSlug together from the two segments following /learn/ to call getCourse; do not send the double-slash URL as a detail request. Membership order does not establish prerequisites or required sequencing. Full curriculum, certificate rights, prices and enrollment guarantees are unproved.

About these operations

Each operation is a request learned from edX's own web pages: API Anything replays it over plain HTTP and falls back to a browser when it must. Read them as JSON.
