Education Codes API

Service Info

Endpoint URL: http://api.careerbuilder.com/v1/educationcodes

Default response format: XML

Education codes are used in job searches to constrain results to a particular field or fields. Since education codes vary from country to country, use the education codes service to view the list of available codes.

The request will return the education names in the language(s) supported by the country requested. The ISO language code will be listed in the "language" attribute of the Name node. A multilingual country will return at least two different names for each education code applicable for that country.

Use caution when working with education codes, as we may change their values at any time.

GET requests only.
