}About the superprof.com API
The Superprof API exposes 3 endpoints that let you search tutors by subject and location, retrieve detailed tutor profiles, and pull featured ambassador-level tutors from the platform. The search_tutors endpoint returns structured tutor cards including hourly rate, rating, review count, and profile URL. Profile data via get_tutor_profile goes deeper with about text, subjects taught, lesson methodology, and individual review content.
Search and Discovery
The search_tutors endpoint accepts two optional slug-formatted parameters — subject (e.g. mathematics, piano) and city (e.g. new-york, los-angeles) — and returns an array of tutor objects alongside a total_results count. Each tutor card includes first_name, location, rating, review_count, status, full_title, hourly_rate, first_lesson offer details, and a profile_url you can pass downstream. You can scope searches to a country by passing a country slug like united-states as the city value.
Tutor Profile Detail
get_tutor_profile takes a slug string derived from a tutor's profile URL and returns the full record. Fields include headline, about_me, lesson_details, subjects (array of strings), hourly_rate, rating (out of 5), review_count, and a reviews array where each entry carries reviewer_name and text. This makes it straightforward to build tutor comparison tools or aggregate review data at scale.
Featured Tutors
get_homepage_featured_tutors requires no inputs and returns the same tutor card schema as search — profile_url, first_name, location, rating, review_count, status, full_title, hourly_rate, and first_lesson. These are ambassador-level tutors highlighted by the platform, making this endpoint useful for seeding datasets with high-signal, well-reviewed profiles.
