REFERENCE
Field DefinitionsWelcome to the Salary.com Developer Documentation. Here you'll find comprehensive guides and documentation to help you start working with our RESTful APIs.
There are two primary categories in this documentation.
The Data as a Service (DaaS) APIs leverage our robust CompAnalyst Market Data, Job Posting, Skills, and various labor market statistics datasets.
At the center of our DaaS APIs is our job matching AI and real HR reported compensation data. The DaaS APIs are a separate commercial model from the CompAnalyst APIs. For more detail about the DaaS APIs and AI job matching, please navigate to Introduction & AI below.
The CompAnalyst APIs are intended for use by existing CompAnalyst Plus, CompAnalyst Enterprise, or JobArchitect clients. These APIs provide a RESTful interface for interacting with the core objects in CompAnalyst and JobArchitect for most client integration use cases.
A robust CompAnalyst implementation is only complete when integrated with an HCM. We have productized API integration offerings as well as outbound and inbound file transfers. The API documentation here is for client technical teams that want full control over the integration and the data exchanged.
Refer to the relevant APIs in the lefthand sidebar for available methods, example request and response body, optional parameters, and expected HTTP status codes.
The primary use case for a CompAnalyst integration with an HCM is to create and update Employees and Company Jobs. Therefore our Employee and Company Job APIs support GET, POST, and PUT methods.
The primary use case for a JobArchitect integration is to get job data and update into an ATS. The JobArchitect API supports the GET method which is inline with this use case.
To get started with Salary.com API, we recommend you review the documentation for the relevant endpoints and field definitions depending on your intended use case(s).
If you are an existing CompAnalyst Plus or Enterprise client and need API credentials, please contact your Customer Success Manager.
If you are a prospective DaaS partner and want to discuss how our offerings may fit your needs, please email partnerships@salary.com to get setup with test access.
