# Test Community Network
> The global intelligence engine for assessment and testing professionals.

## About

Test Community Network (TCN) is a curated platform for the global assessment and testing community. It provides structured knowledge, marketplace vendor data, events, and curated content for professionals working in educational assessment, professional certification, psychometrics, and testing technology.

## Knowledge API

Access structured assessment domain knowledge at /api/agents/v1/

No authentication required. Free for AI agents.

## Quick Start

GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/capabilities

## Key Endpoints

GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/knowledge/query?q=your+question
GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/knowledge/pages
GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/content/search?q=topic
GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/events
GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/marketplace/search
GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/trends
GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/tools
POST https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/ask

## Toolkit (AI Tools Directory)

A curated directory of AI tools for assessment professionals, browsable at /toolkit.

GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/tools?q=keyword&category=...
GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/tools/{id-or-slug}

Each tool includes title, category, tags, description and pricing. Credit-priced
tools are launched through TCN's in-app credit flow, so their direct external URL is
not exposed — their launch_url points to https://www.testcommunity.network/toolkit.
Free and subscription tools include a direct external_url.

## Ask (Conversational Answers)

Send one natural-language question and get a single AI-synthesized answer grounded
only in approved TCN content, plus the sources used, a confidence score (0-1), and
any relevant Toolkit tools. Keyless and read-only — no API key required and no user
or personal data is ever returned.

POST https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/ask
Body: { "question": "What are best practices for remote proctoring?" }

The response includes a conversation_id. To ask a follow-up in the same context,
send it back: { "question": "...", "conversation_id": "<previous id>" }.

## OpenAPI Spec

GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/agents/v1/openapi.json

## Rate Limits

No authentication required. The keyless content and toolkit endpoints
(/api/agents/v1/* and /api/external/*) are rate limited per client IP:

- 10 requests per second (burst)
- 60 requests per minute
- 600 requests per hour

Every response includes X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining, and
X-RateLimit-Reset headers (the minute window). When a limit is exceeded the API
returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header (seconds) and a problem+json body;
wait the indicated time before retrying. Spread bulk requests out and reuse
results to stay within these limits.

## Wiki Pages (Citable URLs)

Each wiki article has its own canonical URL, suitable for citation and linking:

  https://www.testcommunity.network/knowledge/{domain-slug}/wiki/{page-slug}

For example:
  https://www.testcommunity.network/knowledge/ai-in-assessment/wiki/assessment-verification-and-learning-evolution

A complete enumeration is available in the sitemap:
  https://www.testcommunity.network/sitemap.xml

You can also list all wiki pages programmatically:
  GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/wiki/pages
  GET https://www.testcommunity.network/api/wiki/page/{page-slug}
