upGrad

upGrad is an online higher-education and workforce-upskilling platform headquartered in Mumbai, India, founded in 2015 by Ronnie Screwvala, Mayank Kumar and Phalgun Kompalli. It delivers degrees, executive certifications, bootcamps and doctoral programmes in partnership with global universities including Liverpool John Moores University, Golden Gate University, O.P. Jindal Global University, IIIT Bangalore, IIM Kozhikode and IIT Kharagpur, alongside a study-abroad advisory business covering the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany and Ireland. Its public API surface is not a marketed developer programme: it is a large internal microservice estate on upgrad.com subdomains, of which two Spring Boot services publish their springdoc OpenAPI 3.0.1 documents anonymously at /api-docs — a Partner Service covering channel-partner onboarding, prospects, stores, team hierarchy, commission rules and partner invoicing/credit notes, and a Learner Experience Analytics service covering reading-time leaderboards and micro-interaction notifications.

upGrad publishes 18 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Admin Controller API, Business Type Controller API, Commission Rule Controller API, and 15 more. Tagged areas include Education, EdTech, Online Learning, Higher Education, and Certification.

upGrad’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, authentication, and 21 more developer resources.

scored 2026-09-25 · rubric v0.23.0
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 applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% 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/upgrad: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
