CodeLesson API Documentation version 1
You can use the CodeLesson API to retrieve information about CodeLesson. CodeLesson API calls return information in JSON format which can be consumed from any programming language.
At the moment, all CodeLesson API calls are read-only and do not require authentication or an API key.
The base URL for all API calls is http://api.codelesson.com. So to retrieve the list of CodeLesson courses, retrieve http://api.codelesson.com/v1/courses/list.json.
Parameters are passed in the form of query string values following the document name; for example, to retrieve a list of certifications for a student with an email address of learner@example.com, retrieve http://api.codelesson.com/v1/certifications/user.json?email=learner@example.com
This API is updated from time to time. You can view the update history.
