# Skool API Docs

> The complete unofficial Skool API. Skool has no official API; the Apify-hosted "Skool All-in-One API" actor (cristiantala/skool-all-in-one-api) wraps the entire admin surface — posts, comments, members, classroom, files, groups — as one HTTP POST per action. Read AND write. This site documents how to connect any stack, AI agent, or coding tool to Skool.
