Overview

Introduction

The Salary Boosting Skills API provides an interface to identify the skills most associated with higher salaries for a given occupation.

By analyzing millions of online profiles and job postings, Lightcast models which skills contribute most strongly to increased earnings potential within specific roles. This allows users to uncover which skills are most valuable for professional development, workforce training, and salary benchmarking.

Note: By default, all clients are allowed a maximum of 5 requests per second. Contact us if you require higher limits.
