Parameter
Type
Default
Required
Description
keywords
string
​
Yes
Keywords help you refine the topic of the learning objects. Best results are obtained when using the most commonly used designation for a skill, a competency or a job.
lang
string
en
Yes
Language of the LO such as en (english), fr(french), etc. Use the /langendpoint to get the full list of languages currently supported by the API.
provider
string
youtube
Yes
Provider of the LO such as youtube, coursera, applebooks, etc. Use the /providerendpoint to get the list of the providers currently supported by this endpoint.
sort
string
popularity
Yes
Currently supported sorting order are random or popularity. If empty, response will be sorted by popularity.
match
string
best-effort
Yes
How strict the query parameters are applied. Two matches are currently supported:
strict match gives you less results but strictly apply all your query parameters.
best-effort match gives you more results but your query parameters will be loosely applied.
model
string
strict
Yes
The model used by the API to determine if a LO is relevant based on the provided keywords. Two models are currently supported:
strict model gives you less results but is usually more relevant (less false positive).
extended model gives you more results but with a higher probability of false positive.
max
integer
10
Yes
Maximum number of LO returned per page. Value must be between 1 to 20.
page
integer
0
Yes
The number of returned page, starting at 0.
publisher
​
​
No
Publishers are the organization(s) that offer and/or sell the LO. Formooc, distance learning or training this can be an university, a school or a training organization.
ageMax
integer
​
No
The maximum age associated to the LO. For example, if you want to see videos for kids only you can set ageMax=10.
ageMin
integer
​
No
The minimum age associated to the LO. For example, if you want to see textbooks for adult only you can set ageMin=18.
learningTimeMax
integer
​
No
The maximum length of the LO in minute (video only). For example, if you want to see 5 min or less videos only, you can set learningTimeMax=5.
learningTimeMin
integer
​
No
The minimum length of the LO in minute (video only). For example, if you want to see 1h or more videos only, you can set learningTimeMin=60.
levelMax
decimal
​
No
The maximum level of the LO. The level is indicated as decimal number ranging from -1 (beginner) to 1 (advanced). For example, if you want to see a MOOC with a level for beginner, you can set levelMax=-0.5.
levelMin
decimal
​
No
The minimum level of the LO. The level is indicated as decimal number ranging from -1 (beginner) to 1 (advanced). For example, if you want to see a MOOC with a level for intermediate or above, you can set levelMin=0.2.
popularityMin
decimal
​
No
Popularity is an indicator of the popularity of the LO as measured by its number of likes, stars, views, etc. This parameter enables you to set a threshold to filter out LO below a certain popularity. This value ranges from 0 (low popularity) to 1 (exceptionally popular).
address
string
​
No
The address around which you want to search. Works only for geolocated learning objects (eg training). Used in conjuction with distanceMax.
distanceMax
integer
​
No
The maximum distance within which you want to search. Works only for geolocated learning objects (eg training). Used in conjuction with address.
free
bool
​
No
This allows you to filter by free content only (free=true) or paid content only (free=false). If empty, you'll get both free and paid contents.
If you want to enforce strictly one specific query paremeter, you can add !important after it. This parameter wil be applied strictly even if the global match parameter is set to best-effort.
