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 2 APIs on the APIs.io network: Partner Service API and Learner Experience Analytics API. Tagged areas include Education, EdTech, Online Learning, Higher Education, and Certification.

upGrad’s developer surface includes engineering blog, support, authentication, and 19 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/. 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.
