Respondus builds assessment-integrity tools for online exams - most notably LockDown Browser, a custom browser that locks down the testing environment, and Respondus Monitor, an automated webcam-based online proctoring service that adds AI-assisted review on top of LockDown Browser. Over 2,000 institutions across 50+ countries use Respondus to deliver hundreds of millions of online exams a year. Respondus does not publish a self-service public developer API. Its products reach learning platforms through LMS integration rather than an open REST surface - native plugins/building blocks plus the IMS Global LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability) standard for Blackboard, Brightspace, Canvas, Moodle, Sakai, and Schoology, and a privately-licensed LockDown Browser SDK for third-party assessment platforms that must be arranged through Respondus sales. No public OpenAPI, developer keys, or documented endpoints are offered.
