Piazza

Piazza is an online question-and-answer platform for higher education that connects students, teaching assistants, and professors in a single wiki-style collaborative space for each class. Instructors run a Piazza for their course where students ask and answer questions, post anonymously, use a LaTeX and code editor for technical content, and receive instructor-endorsed answers. Piazza integrates with every major learning management system (Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Sakai, Desire2Learn, and others) via the LTI standard for single-click class creation, roster-based automatic enrollment, and automatic single sign-on. It is used across thousands of universities in more than 90 countries and is FERPA-compliant. Piazza does not publish an official public developer API; LMS connectivity is delivered through LTI, and only community projects wrap its internal endpoints.

Piazza is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Consumer, Education, EdTech, and Q&A.

Piazza’s developer surface includes support and 5 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.

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/. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/piazza: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts. Want it done for you? Prioritized profiling — $2,500 →
