# Standards in a framework

`GET /academic-standards`

Fetches a list of StandardsFrameworkItems for a specific standards framework.

This endpoint retrieves academic standards from a single standards framework identified by its CASE Network UUID. You can further filter the results by grade level or classification type. This is useful when you need to work with academic standards from a specific state or jurisdiction.

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Get all academic standards within a specific standards framework
- Find academic standards for a particular grade level within a standards framework
- Filter academic standards by subject area (e.g., only Mathematics academic standards)
- Filter academic standards by their normalized classification (e.g., only instructional academic standards, not organizational groupings)
- Retrieve a subset of a standards framework's academic standards for display or processing

The endpoint returns paginated results. Use the `limit` and `cursor` parameters to control the number of results returned and navigate through large result sets.
