Step 1: Generate Token
Give you Client ID and Client Secret that you generated when purchasing the IYS API or enter the Trial Client ID and Client Secret Click here to get your free Trial
Send the Client Id and Client Secret along with the
grant_type parameter as client_credentials to https://skills.itsyourskills.com/oauth/token

.asJson(); Step 2: Skills Search
From this point on, all your API requests are sent with an
Authorization header. Add the Authorization field to your Request header and give your access_token as Authorization value with the prefix Bearer. Paste your access_token obtained from Step 1 with the Bearer prefix in the Authorization field below like Bearer //your access token//
Here, you can search for a skill name and all the skills with that search term are returned as a JSON response. Now send your search query in
q parameter to https://skills.itsyourskills.com/api/skill-search
The
l parameter limits the number of results. leaving it blank will fetch all results
The
o parameter offsets the number of results before limiting incase you need results from 11 to 30, you give the offset as 10 and limit as 20
The
skill_type parameter fetches only the type of skill metioned. 0 for functional skills and 1 for behavioral skills

.asJson(); Step3 : Related skills Search
Now, in order to get all the related skills to a particular skill/role, you need to pass the
id of the skill acquired from Step 2 in the id parameter and send it to https://skills.itsyourskills.com/api/related-skill-search. Note that passing an id of a skill which has the is_role property set to 1 will return another set of skills that are assigned to that role and you will have to pass an id from that list to get related skills
