Sunlight is an educational-spending platform that lets organizations fund learning for their people. Administrators create groups, invite registered or unregistered members, allocate a per-user education budget ("sunlight"), and let members place orders for courses, books and subscriptions from providers such as Amazon and Platzi, while an activity feed tracks what members join and buy. Its REST API is built on the JSON:API specification (media type application/vnd.api+json) with Bearer-token authentication, and exposes groups, group membership and invitations, per-user credit/budget transactions, orders, and activities. Sunlight was backed by Seedcamp and Speedinvest.
