Skills Ancestors

GET {{base_url}}/ancestors/?path_addr=4147771.1779848.1339709.4147834

Ancestors API

The Ancestors API within ISOT allows users to retrieve a hierarchical list of ancestor skills based on a provided path_addr. This hierarchical order presents parent skills first, followed by grandparent skills, and so on. These ancestor skills essentially represent categories that help users understand the context and relationships of a particular skill within the broader skill hierarchy.

API Request

To utilize the Ancestors API, make a GET request with the desired path_addr. Here is an example using cURL:

curl --request GET \
    --url 'https://iys-skill-api.p.rapidapi.com/ancestors/?path_addr=4147771.1779848.1339709.4147834.4147835' \
    --header 'X-RapidAPI-Host: iys-skill-api.p.rapidapi.com' \
    --header 'X-RapidAPI-Key: <YOUR-API-KEY>'

Ensure to replace <YOUR-API-KEY> with your actual Rapid API Key.

API Response

The response is a JSON array containing skill objects with their path_addr and names, representing the ancestors in hierarchical order. Example response:

[
  {
    "path_addr": "199.200",
    "name": "Web Development",
    ...
  },
  {
    "path_addr": "199",
    "name": "Computer Science",
    ...
  }
]

Example Use Case

Consider the skill JavaScript Programming with a path_addr of 199.200. By querying the Ancestors API with this path, you will receive a list of ancestor skills, such as Web Development and Computer Science.

This API is useful for enabling users to browse through skill categories, gaining insights into the broader context of a specific skill within the ISOT hierarchy.

Note

• Customize the path_addr parameter in the API call to retrieve ancestors for different skills.
• The order of skills in the response reflects the hierarchical relationship, with the immediate parent skill appearing first.
