It took me a while to figure out what this was. At first I thought Codecademy was providing lessons VIA API. I thought, "wow, they've essentially built a framework for education...pretty cool". Then I went to the actual website and saw that it just teaches you how to program OTHER APIs. Maybe their title should more accurately be "Learn How to Program APIs" instead.

Seems to me like it was simply an (understandable) misread of a clear title. It's "API lessons", not "lessons API". :)

Thanks for the feedback. We'll be sure to make the wording super clear.
