Response is a list of objects

Field	Type
href optional	string
id	string
name	string
description	string
child optional	list of objects (same structure as parent)

This response provides the hierarchy of cross-functional skills from the O*NET Content Model. Each child property lists more-detailed elements nested under a more general category. Ratings on occupations are available at the most detailed level; each href property links to the corresponding Occupations for skill service.

end	integer	start + 19	Index of last returned result

This response lists occupation-specific ratings and descriptive information for the requested skill. The example property illustrates the level scale using sample work activities.

Standardized importance and level scores are listed for most occupation results. In some cases, scores are not available and the corresponding property will not be present. When a level score is not relevant for an occupation (which occurs when the importance score is low), a level_not_relevant property is present and set to true.

Results are sorted by importance; to change this, set the sort parameter to level, title, or code. Results are divided into pages; the first 20 results are returned by default.
