How this service works
Plain-HTTP twin of the Alion MCP server. Every tool is also a GET/POST endpoint. Send "Authorization: Bearer <key>" (a key from https://alion.io/developers/keys); calls are paid from the account's credits. Or pay a paid tool per call in USDC with x402 (https://x402.org), no account: call it without a key, sign one of the offers in the PAYMENT-REQUIRED header of its 402 and repeat the call with the PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header; or with MPP (https://paymentauth.org): answer a WWW-Authenticate: Payment challenge with Authorization: Payment <credential> (USDC on Base or Solana, a transfer you sign or have sent). Docs: https://alion.io/developers
Output
A JSON object with aggregated market statistics including: total open jobs and hiring trend percentage, new postings in the current and previous 30-day window, salary distribution (p25/p50/p75 for stated and estimated salaries), top employers with open job counts, work mode share breakdown (remote/hybrid/on-site), top technologies by share, time-to-fill distribution in days, visa sponsorship share, and a filters_applied summary confirming what was matched.
Example use cases
Salary benchmarking for job negotiation
“I have an offer for a senior data scientist role in New York. Can you pull current salary percentiles for senior data scientists in the US from the last 90 days so I know if the offer is competitive?”
Remote AI job market overview
“Give me a snapshot of the current remote AI/ML engineering job market globally — how many open roles, what share are remote, and what technologies are most in demand right now?”
Hiring trend analysis for a specific company
“I want to understand the hiring momentum for software engineers in the UK over the last 60 days — how many new postings, how does that compare to the prior 30-day period, and who are the top employers?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://alion.io/mcp/rest/market_stats?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need aggregated, real-time job market intelligence across a defined segment — salary benchmarks, hiring velocity, employer rankings, or technology demand — rather than browsing individual job listings. It is especially strong for AI/tech roles globally, refreshed daily from 1.75M+ verified employer postings. Prefer it over generic salary survey APIs when you need current market data (not annual surveys) and over individual job-listing search when you want statistical aggregates rather than specific openings.
Side effects
- No matching roles found for very narrow filter combinations — returns zero counts with empty top_employers
- Overly broad queries may return highly aggregated/less meaningful salary estimates
- salary.stated.n may be very low if salary transparency is rare in the filtered segment (low transparency_rate)
- window_days outside 7–365 range will be rejected
- Invalid enum values for seniority, work_mode, or employment_type cause schema validation errors
