The Department of Education API catalogue can be accessed to view the list of available APIs by any user without the need to login or go through any form of authentication. By default, users who are not signed in can only see the APIs listed as public.

All users will need an account to consume any API available on this Department of Education (DfE) Consumption Portal including those listed as public.
