Hey HN, Clever's platform is making it easy for hackers to build startups in education. Take a look at our APIs (https://getclever.com/developers/docs) & let us know what you think.
Major, major kudos for including a functioning demo API key in your curl examples. Drives me nuts when you can't take a peek at sample data without signing up for a test app (and spending a few hours populating the empty account).
Is the sample data the only data about the student that Clever handles? Or does Clever allow for more more data for schools to be added. Specifically, I'm curious about phone numbers for students and teachers.
This idea may have a lot more impact than anyone may possibly conceive today. "infrastructure" company rarely get the credit, but they are a true catalyst for innovation. I think clever is one of those and I really hope their work change education and help others change education. A truly laudable goal!
When you say 1000 schools, do you mean 1000 schools using your product everyday or that one person from 1000 schools has filled out the form on your website?

I love this. My company is in the midst of integrating with LMSs and it's brutal.
Our integrations are typically at the SIS level, but drop us a line and maybe we can help.
