# Standards for an activity

> Fetches all academic standards aligned to a specific activity.

Returns the standards that this activity addresses. These alignments indicate which learning expectations the activity is designed to help students achieve through specific tasks and exercises.

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- See which standards an activity addresses
- Build standards-aligned activities
- Track standards coverage at the activity level
- Generate detailed standards-based reports

  title: Learning Commons Knowledge Graph REST API
  description: >
    REST API for accessing education knowledge graph data including academic
    standards, learning components, and curriculum information.


    **Key datasets:**

    - **Academic standards**: Official state standards from all 50 U.S. states
    sourced from 1EdTech's CASE Network

    - **Learning components**: Granular, teachable skills that break down broad
    standards into actionable instructional units

    - **Standards crosswalks**: Connections between standards and frameworks

    - **Curriculum**: Structured course content including courses, lesson
    groupings (units, sections, modules), lessons, activities, and assessments
