Reference Manual (API Version 1.9)
Taxonomy Services
With the release of the O*NET 25.1 Database in November 2020, O*NET Web Services transitioned to the O*NET-SOC 2019 taxonomy. This taxonomy, based on the 2018 SOC, introduced several changes to the occupations returned by our services. For more information on these changes, see the Occupation Taxonomy page at the O*NET Resource Center.
To help with this taxonomy transition, the services below enable developers to connect occupational data between existing systems based on the previous O*NET-SOC 2010 taxonomy, and the current O*NET-SOC 2019 taxonomy-based O*NET Web Services.
Common use cases
To use O*NET Web Services in conjunction with other O*NET-SOC systems throughout the transition period, developers may implement the following steps:
- To convert an O*NET-SOC code in the 2010 taxonomy for use in a request to O*NET Web Services, use the 2010 to active service.
- To convert an O*NET-SOC code received from O*NET Web Services for use in an external system based on the 2010 taxonomy, use the active to 2010 service.
- To upgrade stored occupational data from the 2010 taxonomy to the 2019 taxonomy, use the 2010 to 2019 service. After the upgrade, the data can be used in requests to O*NET Web Services without conversion.
