Pearson

Pearson Developers Network

Pearson's named API program. Historically served the LearningStudio RESTful Course APIs, the SOAP SIS APIs, an eventing surface and a Financial Times Education API via api.pearson.com. The platform was retired and the portal is now gated: every documentation path returns HTTP 401 and SAML-redirects to a Salesforce Experience Cloud community. The gateway host api.pearson.com resolves but answers 403 on every path with "We apologize, you have reached a service that has been moved."
