Overview

The Udemy Instructor API lets course instructors programmatically access data about their own courses, students, and revenue on Udemy. You can retrieve course analytics, enrollment counts, and student reviews directly from your account. This is useful for building custom dashboards or automating reporting for your Udemy teaching business.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized Missing or incorrect API credentials in the request.
Use HTTP Basic Auth: pass your Udemy Client ID as the username and Client Secret as the password.
403 Forbidden on another instructor course The Instructor API only returns data for courses owned by the authenticated account.
Ensure you are querying your own course IDs — you cannot access other instructors' data with this API.
Pagination missing results By default, the API returns a limited number of results per page.
Use the page and page_size query parameters to paginate through all results, and check the count field in the response.
