Developers are encouraged to link to O*NET sites from within their own websites and applications. Useful "deep links" to individual features are provided in the website tabs below. URLs to features not listed are subject to change. For additional ways to include O*NET content, please see O*NET Web Services or O*NET Database.
In the spirit of open data, we provide a variety of machine-readable and machine-discoverable information about the O*NET Database and our websites, through web APIs and embedded Linked Data.
O*NET Web Services
O*NET Web Services is an API developers can use to display O*NET information in their applications, and take advantage of tools such as the occupation keyword search featured in My Next Move and O*NET OnLine. The full content of the downloadable O*NET Database is also available through the API. Learn more about O*NET Web Services.

Embedded JSON-LD
JSON-LD
external site is an open format used by many websites to publish machine-readable Linked Data and metadata. As described below, we employ JSON-LD to make the O*NET Database more visible and useful to researchers and developers.
Competency Frameworks
Open standards for describing credentials and competencies are being developed by the Credential Engine
external site project. Several domains from the O*NET Content Model are published as competency frameworks, described using the CTDL-ASN
external site schema (Credential Transparency Description Language Profile of Achievement Standards Network Description Language).
Google Dataset Search
Google Dataset Search
external site is a tool for researchers, scientists, or developers to find and utilize datasets published across the internet. The information displayed in Dataset Search comes from metadata embedded into web pages and is aggregated by Google. The data is also available to other providers who wish to publish information on datasets. We publish information about our O*NET Database using this open format. View dataset results for the O*NET Database.

Rich search results
Rich search results are used by Google and other search engines to display additional info beyond links, such as icons or search boxes for a specific site. The O*NET Resource Center home page includes metadata about the site, including how to access our own site search, and about the National Center for O*NET Development. Search engine developers can take advantage of this data to provide a better experience. View the data embedded in our home page.
