Swot is a Ruby library for verifying that email addresses and domain names belong to legitimate academic institutions, using a crowdsourced dataset. It was the backbone of GitHub Education's student verification and is now archived in favor of JetBrains/swot.

Use cases

  • verify student email addresses for academic discounts
  • check if a domain belongs to a university
  • automate eligibility checks for education pricing
  • validate .edu and international academic domains
  • detect academic email domains without a TLD-specific suffix

When to choose

  • you need to verify academic email addresses in a Ruby application
  • you want a crowdsourced dataset of academic domains worldwide
  • you're maintaining legacy code that already uses swot

When to avoid

  • you're starting a new project - use the actively maintained JetBrains/swot fork instead
  • you need a non-Ruby implementation without porting
  • you need guaranteed up-to-date academic domain data
