Free API Access

Lightcast APIs are one of the primary methods for accessing our data. Our APIs are comprehensive and support a broad range of use cases, from analytics to application development. We provide free access to the Skills API and Titles API so you can explore our Open Skills Library and understand the depth of our data.

Free API access allows you to:

  • Query over 33,000 skills and 75,000 job titles.
  • Access essential skill metadata such as names, IDs, types, and categories.
  • Use autocomplete search and limited skill-extraction capabilities.

This level of access enables you to analyze skills, build matching and search tools, and integrate structured data into your applications.
