Enabling Application Developers to Unlock the Power of Academic Data
We are committed to the developer community, and making academic data integration a business-changing process. Our API is designed to make integrations simple, and the user experience frictionless.
On our documentation site, you’ll find comprehensive information for integrating with our API endpoints. We strive to make this documentation user-friendly, but if you have any questions, please email help@measureone.com.
We provide an API to enable you, the application developer, to integrate academic data into your applications. Similar to what other API companies such as Twilio have done for messaging, or Plaid for banking data, we provide an API that enables you to focus on your application while we worry about the complexity of academic data.
Academic data is remarkably complex. Today, the vast majority of academic data is provided in document format: PDFs, HTMLs, and images. In addition to this complexity, there are no standards for the data. Each institution has its own definition for credits, grades, terms, and many other attributes. Together, this makes using this data burdensome and almost impossible for all but the simplest tasks. MeasureOne handles all this. We parse and extract academic data, normalize it, and present it all back to you in a developer-friendly API.
No. We obtain the data when the student submits their transcript through your application to our platform. We then take that document, extract and normalize the information from it, and provide that data back to your application through a simple API.
Today we support PDF, HTML, Word, JPEG, PNG and digital formats from SIS vendors. If you have a specific format that you would like us to support, please contact us.
We provide both the raw data from the transcript as well as the standardized (normalized) version of the data. This allows you, the developer, to tailor the transcript data to your application.
We have two predictive analytics based on academic data. The MeritScore that correlates transcript data to credit performance, and the GradScore that correlates transcript data to persistence rate (the likelihood that a given student will be enrolled 12 months from today).
Yes. We have worked with many customers to help them understand what academic data can do for their business. This can range from helping analyze data to building proprietary scores that can then be used to qualify and predict consumer behavior. Please contact us.
Yes. In addition to transcripts, our API supports academic data provided directly by users, through a form-submission experience. This is particularly useful in instances where you are pre-screening based on user-reported information, with the intention of validating actual transcript data later in the process.
