Getting Started🔗︎
Skills Intelligence🔗︎
The Skills Intelligence APIs provide various functionalities around Textkernel's knowledge base of professions and skills. The API can be used to:
- Extract and normalize skills from any HR-related text to pre-populate skill profiles.
- Improve analytics by standardizing skill and job data to Textkernel's comprehensive, cross-lingual taxonomies.
- Import Textkernel's taxonomies of skills and professions in your organization's tools and processes.
- Create smart matching solutions by leveraging Textkernel's extensive knowledge base on synonyms and profession-skill relations.
- Automatically enrich job architectures and job catalogues with suggestions of relevant skills.
- Generate skill-based recommendations of (non-obvious) job transitions.
- Understand the skill gap between two professions, or between a current skill set and an aspired next role.
- Extract skills from training descriptions, and leverage those for targeted upskilling recommendations.
- Generate job descriptions based on criteria like job title, skills, and location.
Rate Limits🔗︎
Unlike Textkernel's other APIs, the Skills Intelligence APIs are rate-limited on a number-of-requests-per-time-period basis. This means that any given second/minute/hour you are allowed to have N requests. Any requests after the limit of N is reached are rejected until the time period elapses and you are allowed to have N more requests for the next time period. The specific values for each endpoint are provided below:
| Endpoint | Request Limit | Time Period |
