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
