Documentation for (and examples of) using the Khan Academy API

Khan Academy API Documentation and Examples

Documentation

• Full API documentation is found in the wiki.

Examples

All example code is MIT licensed.

• There's a small test client in this repo that can be used to test your API calls or to serve as an example for implementing the Khan Academy authentication flow.

• To use the test client:

1. python test.py
2. Enter your consumer key and secret
3. Enter the Khan Academy url you want to test against (unless you're running a local version, this'll be http://www.khanacademy.org)
4. A browser will pop up for you to walk through the authentication flow. When done, it will redirect you to a page that says "Ok" and in the URL there will be two parameter values you need: oauth_token and oauth_token_secret.
5. Go back to the test.py command line and enter your new token and secret.
6. You'll now have a loop that lets you run Khan Academy API queries, authenticated as the user you logged in as.
