Overview

The PRC Exam Schedule API gives you easy access to upcoming Philippine Professional Regulation Commission board exam dates and schedules. It is completely free to use and requires no API key, making it a great first API for beginners to explore. Use it to build reminder apps, informational websites, or tools that help Filipino professionals track exam timelines.

Beginner Tip

This is an unofficial API, so always double-check important dates against the official PRC website before relying on the data for critical decisions.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

Generated guidance based on this API's documentation, not observed by us. Treat it as a starting point and check against the provider's own error reference.

Empty or null response The API may not have data for a specific exam type or the schedule has not been published yet.
Check if the exam board name you are querying is spelled correctly and that the schedule period is currently available.
Connection timeout The unofficial server may be temporarily down or rate-limiting requests.
Wait a few minutes and retry. Consider caching responses locally to reduce repeated requests.
CORS error in browser Cross-Origin Resource Sharing may not be enabled for all browser clients.
Make requests from a server-side environment (Node.js) or use a proxy to avoid CORS restrictions.

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
