Search skills
GET/skill
Searches the skills of the taxonomies available — today O*NET: its skills, knowledge, abilities,
work styles and work activities, and the technologies it lists. Each skill names its taxonomy
in framework.
A credential's own skills — the skills custom parameter of a template that takes them per
recipient — are meant to come from a taxonomy. Send each one by the code this endpoint answers,
or by its name exactly as answered here, in English or in any language the taxonomy is
translated to. A skill sent otherwise is still shown on the credential, as free text, but it
does not count towards the recipient's skills profile.
The code is the unambiguous choice: a taxonomy can name two skills alike — O*NET has a skill
and a knowledge area both named Mathematics — and the name stands for the skill.
q matches the code, the English name and the name in lang, ignoring case and accents. The
skills named exactly as q come first, then those whose name starts with it, then the rest. A
q that is absent or blank is a bad request.
