Salary API

The REST API returns structured JSON responses containing salary ranges, hourly rates, compensation benchmarks, required skills, market demand, and regional employment insights.

About Salary API

Salary API is a REST service from Jobicy that returns structured compensation data for job-title and country combinations. Responses include median, minimum, and maximum annual salary estimates, hourly rate equivalents, a confidence score, and a freshness timestamp, along with junior/middle/senior compensation tiers tied to experience ranges.

Beyond raw pay figures, the API returns market context: demand level, growth rate, remote-work availability and trend, and relevant industries, plus role-level detail such as core, trending, and emerging skills and common employee benefits. Requests are authenticated with a Bearer token and require a title and country parameter; metadata endpoints are available to look up supported position and country values before building production mappings.

The API is intended for integration into HR products, job platforms, and workforce tools that need compensation benchmarking rather than a single median figure. Access uses a per-key wallet, billed at $0.109 USD per successful current-data lookup, with a 10 requests/second rate limit and no charge for repeated identical lookups; new accounts get free access for 30 days.
