Apollo Education Group

Apollo Education Group is a private education provider that operates the University of Phoenix and other institutions offering associate's, bachelor's, master's, and doctoral degree programs. The organization focuses on providing accessible higher education to working adult learners through online and in-person formats. Taken private in 2017, the group has since been renamed Phoenix Education Partners; the former apolloeducationgroup.com domain no longer serves and the live surface is the operating institution's site at phoenix.edu. There is no public developer program: the only machine-readable contracts the group publishes are the identity documents behind its student single sign-on.

Apollo Education Group publishes 1 API on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Education, Higher Education, Online Education, Private Education, and University.

Apollo Education Group’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 15 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Education & Research regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/apollo-education-group: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.

    and is saved verbatim in this repository, alongside a SAML 2.0 metadata document served from the same host. Both are real,
    self-describing, machine-readable contracts. Neither is a developer API: this is the sign-on for students, faculty and
    staff reaching MyPhoenix and eCampus, there is no documented client-registration route, no published scope reference beyond
    what the discovery document itself advertises, and no developer documentation of any kind. Listed because the artifacts
    are genuine, not because they are self-serve.'
