About

Macademia Tree is a structured, open-access API that maps the landscape of academic knowledge. It organizes domains, disciplines, sub-disciplines, and topics into a navigable taxonomy, making it easy for developers, researchers, and educators to build tools that understand how fields of study relate to one another.

Why we built this

Academic knowledge is vast and interconnected, but most data sources treat it as flat lists of keywords. We wanted a structured, hierarchical representation that reflects how disciplines actually branch and overlap — something developers could query with a simple API call.

What you can do with it

• Build course recommendation engines and academic advising tools
• Power search and discovery across research databases
• Create visualizations of how fields of study connect
• Enrich educational platforms with structured metadata

Open and free

The core API is free to use with generous rate limits. If you need higher throughput or search endpoints for a production application, check out our pricing plans.
