Get Started with Skills Intelligence Engine API

Everything you need to know to get started with the Skills Intelligence Engine API.

Generate your API key

To make an API request, you will need an API key.

• If you have a Visier account with a profile that has the API capability, then you can generate an API key in the studio experience. For more information on how to get an API key, see API Authentication.
• If you don't have a Visier account, contact your Client Success Manager to get an API key.

Choose your tool

To use Visier APIs, you need to choose a tool to make your first request. This can be Postman or whichever method you usually use to make HTTP requests. For more information about using Postman for your first request, see Use Postman to Call Visier APIs.

Make your first request

To test that you have everything set up correctly, we'll make a request to retrieve a list of all jobs in the Jobs Library using the /v1/jobs endpoint. For a complete list of available endpoints, see API Reference.

The following sample request is used to retrieve a list of all jobs. Replace {vanity-name} with your tenant name and include the API key as a header.

2
curl -X GET --url 'https://{vanity_name}.api.visier.io/v1/jobs' \
-H 'apikey: {api_key}'

If the request is successful, you should see a similar response:

    {
        "id": "5746",

        "description": "People in this job implement or program all kinds of software systems based on specifications and designs by using programming languages, tools and platforms."
    },
