Also, as a large-scale demonstration of the API in use, the full source code of the OpenEd website is available in open source form via MIT license on GitHub.

With the world's largest catalog of standard-aligned videos and games, all of which are curated by educators, OpenEd provides educators, parents, and now developers with a simple tool to find videos and games that enliven lesson plans and aid students in class or at home. Whether you are writing an assessment tool for testing students and want to suggest remediation resources, providing a content-creation tool where you want to offer related resources, or developing a game where associated videos may be helpful, anyone can use OpenEd's API for free.

"OpenEd has the most extensive collection of Common Core learning resources available today," said Tony Thomas, Founder of Edcite. "Their easy-to-use API allows us to make these resources directly available to teachers and students in our application."

"While building OpenEd, we noticed that there were few tools and APIs available for accessing resources on learning standards," said Lisa Blum, VP of Marketing at OpenEd. "This made our job much harder, but also made us see that other EdTech products could use access to Common Core aligned resources. If you are an EdTech company with a need for API access to our resource catalog or just want to use parts of our website code, we want to help you."

"Using OpenEd's API is an enormous opportunity for a startup like Nutmeg. Access to resources on this scale has, until now, only been reserved for companies willing to work with some of the major publishers," said Jonathan Modica, Founder and CEO of Nutmeg Education. "Because of OpenEd, we don't need to go down that path. The API offers an incredible number of resources and was extremely easy for our team to integrate into our system."
