Standards API

The CPALMS Standards API is available for districts and schools to connect their application and access the Standards in a machine-readable format. By providing this API, we hope to: 

  1. Save cost to our schools and districts.
  2. Connect your application directly with the source of the standards.
  3. Reduce errors caused by human data entry. 

The CPALMS Standards API outputs the data using the IMS Global’s Competencies and Academic Standards Exchange (CASE) framework. To learn more about CASE and for the documentation, please go to: https://www.imsglobal.org/activity/case 

For application vendors, please use the CASE standards exchange to connect and access the information.

To gain access to the CPALMS Standards API, please read the terms of service and complete the application below.
