Before you use it

Limits that matter

API access requires registration and is governed by O*NET Web Services licensing; do not assume unrestricted bulk redistribution merely because the data is publicly viewable.; U.S. occupational framework and SOC-linked data; it is not a globally representative labor-skill census, although crosswalks can connect to other classifications.; O*NET releases/database versions change over time; API results represent the service's current version and should be version-aware for reproducible analytics.
