Free CBT Articles & Psychology Tests API: Access Psychology Data

TL;DR : Psychology and Serenity offers a free REST API that provides structured access to metadata from over 300 cognitive behavioral therapy articles, a catalogue of 25 validated psychological tests, and aggregated research statistics on topics including attachment styles, anxiety disorders, and early childhood schemas. The API serves mental health app developers, psychology researchers, and AI assistant creators by exposing psychological data that is typically locked within academic sources, with three main endpoints returning article metadata across 17 clinical categories, test information without exposing questions or scoring systems, and research-backed statistics with source citations. The service protects user privacy by never providing full article content, test details, personal data, or medical diagnoses, operates as a standard JSON-returning REST API requiring no authentication, and implements rate limiting through HTTP headers. Available use cases include enriching mental health applications with relevant articles and tests, supporting university research with aggregated statistics, enhancing chatbot responses with verified psychological references, and powering content aggregators with structured publication data, all free to use with proper attribution to the source website.

Mental health app developers, psychology researchers, and AI assistant creators share the same need: access to reliable and structured psychological data. This is exactly what the Psychology and Serenity API provides.

Why a Free Psychology API?

Evidence-based psychology too often remains locked away in academic silos. Popular science articles exist, but their metadata is not easily exploitable by software programs.

Our API fills this gap by exposing structured metadata from over 300 articles written by a CBT psychopractitioner, covering the major themes of contemporary clinical psychology.

What the API Offers

1. Article Metadata (300+)

The `/api/articles` endpoint provides access to metadata for all our published articles. Each article is automatically categorised among 17 thematic categories: Attachment, Couples, Anxiety, CBT, Manipulation, Emotional Dependence, Breakups, and many more.

```bash
curl "https://psychologieetserenite.com/api/articles?theme=Attachment&limit=5"
```

The response includes the title, description, category, publication date, estimated reading time, word count, and the full URL of the article. The full article content is never exposed — only metadata is returned.

2. Psychological Test Catalogue (25+)

The `/api/tests` endpoint exposes a catalogue of scientifically validated psychological tests hosted on our dedicated platform. Each test includes a title, description, estimated duration, number of questions, and category.

```bash
curl "https://psychologieetserenite.com/api/tests?category=anxiety"
```

Available categories cover: personality, anxiety, relationships, ADHD, OCD, phobias, childhood schemas, depression, and personal development. Questions and scoring scales are not exposed.

3. Research Statistics

The `/api/stats` endpoint provides aggregated data from published research: attachment style distribution, anxiety disorder prevalence in France, CBT effectiveness according to meta-analyses, and most common early schemas.

```bash
curl "https://psychologieetserenite.com/api/stats"
```

Each dataset references the source study and sample size.
