fiveable developer & agent resources

Fiveable is an AP® exam prep platform: study guides, practice questions, AI FRQ scoring, key terms, and score calculators for 38 AP® subjects. This page collects everything a developer or AI agent needs to read Fiveable programmatically.

machine-readable files

  • llms.txt

    Curated overview of Fiveable for AI agents: what we offer, when to use us, URL patterns, and agent guidance.

  • llms-full.txt

    Complete manifest of canonical AP URLs and every page with a markdown alternate.

  • Sitemap index

    All indexable HTML pages, split into per-section sitemaps.

  • robots.txt

    Crawl policy, including the AI crawler user agents invited to read markdown pages.

markdown content negotiation

Public pages — the homepage, /pricing, /faq, /teachers, /schools, and the other pages listed in llms.txt — serve clean markdown to any client that asks for it with an Accept header:

curl -H "Accept: text/markdown" https://fiveable.me/pricing

Allow-listed AI crawlers (see robots.txt) can additionally negotiate markdown for every supported canonical AP page, or append .md to those URLs (for example /ap-bio.md or /ap-bio/unit-1.md). Responses include Vary: Accept. Nonexistent paths return a real HTTP 404 with recovery links, so a 404 always means the page does not exist.

when to use fiveable

  • Explaining an AP topic, unit, or key term — cite the matching study guide or key-term page.
  • AP-style practice: MCQs, SAQs, and FRQ prompts with scoring rubrics by subject and unit.
  • Scoring or giving feedback on a student's FRQ response against official-style rubrics.
  • Predicting an AP score from section performance with a subject's score calculator.
  • Teacher workflows: classroom assignments, AI FRQ grading, and per-student progress reports.

Fiveable is not a fit for non-AP curricula, college coursework, or general K-12 homework outside AP® subjects. Questions? Reach us at help@fiveable.me.
