The Public API is a set of functions that provide programmatic access to Apprenticeship Central (AC) jobs data, the same as is viewable on the AC site (un-logged in).

Access to the API is granted via an AC Administration-provided user name. Keys can be requested from AC via the Contact Us page.

All calls to the API must furnish a valid user credential, in conjunction with properly formed parameters appropriate to the function being called.

The request format and the response format are both JSON. Here is an example of a typical call: –

Additional parameters in the request are described in the relevant function descriptions, which also detail the response format. These are as follows: –

• ALL – request summary data for all positions (limited to 100 most recent).
• SEARCH – request summary data for a subset of the positions, filtered by keyword.
• DETAIL – request all the available information about a single item.
