The essential first step of any flow with the Skill Engine API is creating the
Entities within the system.For example, to create a Skill Cluster you can simply submit a POST request
to /taxonomy/skill_clusters:

{ "external_id": "CP-001", "skill_cluster_name": "Data Science Modelling", "skill_cluster_description": "The ability to use machine learning algorithms to extract value from data"}
The sequence diagram below shows the communication steps:After the initial creation, the Skill Clusters can be updated by sending a PATCH
request to /taxonomy/skill_clusters/CP-001. More information can be found at
the endpoint specification
.
The lifecycle of each Entity is managed explicitly, meaning that you cannot
overwrite an existing Entity with a POST message. To update an Entity, you can
execute a PATCH call at its specific endpoint.
