Public API — Developer Guide

A guide for developers integrating an external application (marketing site, kiosk, partner portal) with AnchorPoint's public course and class catalogue.

These endpoints are authenticated with an API token — a long-lived bearer credential issued to your application by an AnchorPoint superadmin. They return only publicly visible course and class data, so they are safe to drive a public-facing website or landing page.

Who this is for

This section is written for developers. If you are looking for help using the AnchorPoint admin application, start with the Admin Overview instead.

Quick start

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANCHORPOINT_API_TOKEN" \
     "https://api.[YOUR_SCHOOL].anchorpoint.com/api/v2/public/courses"

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": 12,
      "name": "Basic Safety Training",
      "upcoming_class": {
        "start": "2026-10-06",
        "end": "2026-10-10",
        "type": "Brick and Mortar",
        "city": "Norfolk",
        "state": "VA",
        "cost": 129500,
        "available_seats": 4
      }
    }
  ]
}

Everything you need is in that one call: the token in an Authorization header, and a base URL of https://<your-api-host>/api/v2.
