• Introduced a skill_id field alongside Skill names in our API endpoints to avoid ambiguities and conflicts. Using Skill names in a request body to denote or update a Skill is deprecated, please use skill_id instead. Existing functionality is backward-compatible.

  The following endpoints are affected:

  • PATCH /employees/{external_id}/skill_profile
  • PATCH /job_architecture/job_families/{job_family_external_id}/skill_profile
  • PATCH /job_architecture/jobs/{job_external_id}/skill_profile
  • PATCH /vacancies/{external_id}/skill_profile
  • PATCH /courses/{external_id}/skill_profile
  • PATCH /occupations/{external_id}/skill_profile
