Query parameters

Param	Meaning
`limit`	Rows per page. Default 500, max 10 000.
`cursor`	Slug from the previous page's `next_cursor`. Rows are ordered by slug ASC.
`fields=extended`	Adds `state, area, lat, lng, boards, gender, format, fee_min, fee_max, rating_overall, review_count, url`.
`since=<ISO8601>`	Delta feed — only rows with `updated_at` newer than the timestamp. Combine with your last successful `generated_at`.
`format=jsonl\|csv`	On `/schools-index.json`, redirects (307) to the matching sibling endpoint. Convenience for clients that can't rewrite paths.

Caching

Responses include ETag, Last-Modified, and Cache-Control: public, max-age=3600, s-maxage=86400. Send If-None-Match or If-Modified-Since to get 304 Not Modified with zero bytes. Response header X-Snapshot-Source: snapshot|mem|live tells you whether the persistent snapshot, an in-process cache, or a live DB fallback served the request. X-RateLimit-Policy advises a client-side budget; the endpoint itself does not enforce a hard limit.

Example

curl -H 'Accept: application/json' \
