FAQ

What's Course Report? The largest independent directory of coding bootcamps, with 850+ schools and tens of thousands of verified alumni reviews. See coursereport.com.

How are reviews "verified"? Course Report verifies reviewers via LinkedIn or GitHub sign-in; the actor surfaces this as verificationType. Unverified/anonymous reviews are also included unless verifiedReviewsOnly is set.

Why do some schools have duplicate subject slugs (e.g. Blockchain)? Course Report maintains two overlapping subject taxonomies for some topics; both are exposed as separate subjectSlug options so you can pick either listing.

Does this require login or an API key? No — everything is scraped from Course Report's public pages.

How fresh is the data? Live — every run re-fetches the current page HTML from coursereport.com.

What does ratingBreakdown mean? The count of reviews at each star level (5 down to 1) shown on the school's profile page, e.g. {"5Star": 466, "4Star": 133, ...}.
