python

Demonstrates how to work with state educational standards data using the Knowledge Graph REST API, covering:

• API Integration: Using REST API to query standards frameworks and items
• Standards Querying: Filtering standards by jurisdiction, grade level, and type

Note: The API is in limited early release and is only available to some private beta users. Because the API is an early release, current users should expect occasional breaking changes.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.8 or higher
• A Learning Commons Platform account
• An API key generated in the Learning Commons Platform

Dependencies

• requests: HTTP library for API calls
• python-dotenv: Environment variable management

Quick Start

1. Clone and Set Up Virtual Environment:

   git clone git@github.com:learning-commons-org/knowledge-graph.git
   cd tutorials/working_with_standards/python
   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Set Environment Variables (create .env file):

   # Knowledge Graph API credentials - get these from the Learning Commons Platform
   API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   BASE_URL=https://api.learningcommons.org/knowledge-graph/v0

3. Run Tutorial:

   python work_with_state_standards.py
