Opportunity Platform Developers

For partners

Local development should mean local jobs. Build on that.

Put the work new development creates in front of the people who live beside it, and see what happened when they went for it. Link your jobs in minutes, show them on your own site, or build on the API: employers, councils, developers, job boards and the platforms they report through.

GET /v1/labour/*
Skills not met, what people are training for and forecast skills gaps. See Labour market data.

By arrangement (preview data)

  • POST /v1/compliance-export
    A developer-scoped summary for ESG and reporting platforms. It serves fixed preview data so an integration can be built against the shape; the figures are not live yet.
