# Standards frameworks

`GET /standards-frameworks`

Fetches a list of StandardsFramework objects representing complete academic standards documents. Each standards framework represents a complete standards document published by an official body like a state department of education.
This endpoint allows you to discover available standards frameworks and retrieve metadata about standards documents from different jurisdictions, subjects, and adoption statuses.

Use this endpoint when you need to:
- Discover available standards frameworks to query academic standards from
- Find standards framework UUIDs needed for the GET /academic-standards endpoint
- Browse standards frameworks by subject, jurisdiction, or adoption status
- Get standards framework metadata (title, adoption status, modification dates)
