How the API Workflow Works
AI relation endpoints use the async job pattern shared by all SharpAPI endpoints.
1. Submit
POST a skill or job position name with optional language and max_quantity. You get a job ID and a status_url back instantly.
2. Poll
Poll the status_url (or let an SDK do it) while the job runs asynchronously — results typically land within seconds.
3. Consume JSON
Receive weighted, structured relations you can cache, index for search expansion or feed into your own skills graph.
Call it from any stack
Submit a job, poll the status URL, get structured JSON. SDKs available for PHP, Laravel, Python, Node.js, .NET and Flutter.

Skills Taxonomy API — Frequently Asked Questions
-
Four building blocks: the Skills Database API (73,000+ curated skills) and Job Positions API (16,000+ standardized job titles) for direct lookups, plus two AI endpoints — Related Skills and Related Job Positions — that return weighted, contextual suggestions for any input term.
-
Enterprise skills ontologies are typically licensed per-seat or per-volume at five-to-six-figure annual contracts. SharpAPI gives you taxonomy lookups and AI-generated relations under one flat subscription starting at $50/month — the same key that unlocks every other SharpAPI endpoint.
-
You send a skill name (for example "Laravel") and get back a JSON list of related skills, each with a relevance weight — ideal for expanding search queries, suggesting profile skills or building skill graphs. Related Job Positions works the same way for role names.
-
Yes. The Skills and Job Positions databases are utility APIs designed for exactly that: powering autocomplete fields, validating free-text input and mapping messy user-entered titles onto standardized ones.
-
The AI relation endpoints accept a language parameter, so you can request related skills and positions in the language of your product. Database lookups return standardized English terms you can localize on your side.
-
Everything ships in the standard SharpAPI subscription from $50/month, metered in processed words. The 14-day free trial with 100,000 words lets you evaluate coverage against your existing taxonomy before committing.
