Chegg

Chegg is an American education technology company that provides direct-to-student learning services, including 24/7 homework and expert Q&A help, step-by-step textbook solutions, practice questions, and writing, grammar, and citation tools. Founded in 2005 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, Chegg began as a textbook-rental marketplace and expanded into a subscription study-support platform (Chegg Study, Chegg Writing, Chegg Math Solver) plus tutoring and skills offerings. Chegg operates as a consumer web/mobile product rather than a developer platform: it exposes no public developer portal, published API, or SDKs at this time. Its public technical surface is limited to a coordinated vulnerability disclosure program on HackerOne and standard web security/policy pages. Surfaced as a portfolio company of Kleiner Perkins and enriched by the API Evangelist pipeline.

Chegg is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Education, EdTech, and Learning.

Chegg’s developer surface includes support, engineering blog, and 6 more developer resources.
