GetMyCert Developer API

Programmatic access to 13,000+ expert-verified IT certification practice questions across 26 certifications. Every question has a verified correct answer, a written explanation, and a difficulty rating. Access it with an API key, pay-per-call from an AI agent via x402, or connect over MCP.

Why this data

Most question datasets are scraped and unverified. Every GetMyCert answer is confirmed by independent blind-solver consensus plus an adversarial review and ships with an explanation, which makes it suitable for AI tutors, adaptive study apps, and agents that need answers they can trust.
