How this service works
Global career intelligence API serving the world's 3.5 billion workers. 10 endpoints: salary benchmarking (any role + any country, sourced from BLS, OECD, ILO, Glassdoor, Levels.fyi), industry outlook, skills-gap analysis (with Coursera/Udemy/Pluralsight course links), ATS-optimized resume intelligence, salary negotiation playbooks, career transition roadmaps, remote work setup intelligence, certification recommendations (with A Cloud Guru/Pluralsight links), interview prep, and layoff/severance guidance. Full global scope — 190+ countries, 75+ languages via ?lang= parameter. LinkedIn Premium and resume builder affiliate links on relevant endpoints. All require x402 micropayment (USDC on Base).
Output
A JSON object with a ranked list of certifications (e.g. AWS Solutions Architect, CFA) each showing estimated cost in USD, difficulty level, weeks to complete, employer demand rating, and salary impact percentage, plus a high-level ROI ranking string comparing major options (e.g. 'AWS > GCP > Azure for cloud').
Example use cases
Example prompt
“What certifications should I pursue as a cloud engineer in the US to maximize my salary — rank them by ROI and tell me how long each takes and how much employers actually pay for them.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://careerpulse-steel.vercel.app/api/career/certifyWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when a user wants structured, ranked certification recommendations with concrete ROI metrics (cost, time, salary impact, employer demand) rather than generic career advice. Best for comparing competing certifications in the same field (cloud, finance, project management) across countries.
Side effects
- Unsupported country or region returns empty or partial results
- Unrecognized job role may return generic recommendations
- Invalid lang= parameter may fall back to English
- Micropayment failure (x402) blocks the request entirely
- Rate limiting if payment is not processed correctly
