The US Best Jobs API offers structured access to data on the highest-paying jobs by state in the U.S., based on current statistics provided by World Population Review. With endpoints built for granularity, users can retrieve lists of U.S. states and query data such as the highest-paying job, its corresponding salary, and how it compares nationally. The API supports analytical use cases including salary benchmarking, workforce mobility studies, and economic visualization. Each data column from the source is modeled as a dedicated endpoint, with query parameters allowing users to filter results by state. This modular approach avoids large payloads and encourages fine-grained data analysis.

The US Best Jobs API provides structured access to high-paying job data across U.S. states, allowing users to retrieve job titles, salaries, and perform detailed analyses.
Users can filter job data by state using query parameters in the API endpoints, enabling fine-grained analysis of salaries and job titles.
The API supports various analytical use cases, including salary benchmarking, workforce mobility studies, and economic visualization.
The API is based on current statistics provided by World Population Review, ensuring that the job data is up-to-date and reliable.
Yes, the API allows users to compare the highest-paying jobs and their corresponding salaries both within a state and on a national level.
Each endpoint returns structured data related to high-paying jobs in the U.S. The "get us states with job data" endpoint returns a list of states, while the "get highest-paying-job by state" and "get average annual salary by state" endpoints return specific job titles and salary figures for the indicated state.
Key fields include "state," "highest_paying_job," and "average_annual_salary." For example, the response for the highest-paying job includes the state name and the corresponding job title.
The response data is organized in JSON format, with each endpoint returning a structured object. For instance, the highest-paying job endpoint returns an object containing the state and the job title, making it easy to parse and utilize.
The primary parameter used across the endpoints is "state," which allows users to specify the U.S. state for which they want to retrieve job data. This parameter must match one of the states returned by the "get us states with job data" endpoint.
The "get us states with job data" endpoint provides a list of states, while the "get highest-paying-job by state" endpoint returns the top job title for a specified state. The "get average annual salary by state" endpoint provides the average salary for that job in the selected state.
Users can customize their requests by specifying the "state" parameter in the relevant endpoints. This allows for targeted queries to retrieve specific job data for any state in the dataset.
Data accuracy is maintained through sourcing from World Population Review, which provides current statistics. Regular updates and quality checks ensure that the information remains reliable and reflective of the job market.
Typical use cases include salary benchmarking for job seekers, workforce mobility studies for employers, and economic visualization for researchers analyzing job trends across different states.
To obtain your API key, you first need to sign in to your account and subscribe to the API you want to use. Once subscribed, go to your Profile, open the Subscription section, and select the specific API. Your API key will be available there and can be used to authenticate your requests.
You can’t switch APIs during the free trial. If you subscribe to a different API, your trial will end and the new subscription will start as a paid plan.
If you don’t cancel before the 7th day, your free trial will end automatically and your subscription will switch to a paid plan under the same plan you originally subscribed to, meaning you will be charged and gain access to the API calls included in that plan.
The free trial ends when you reach 50 API requests or after 7 days, whichever comes first.
No, the free trial is available only once, so we recommend using it on the API that interests you the most. Most of our APIs offer a free trial, but some may not include this option.
Yes, we offer a 7-day free trial that allows you to make up to 50 API calls at no cost, so you can test our APIs without any commitment.
Zyla API Hub is like a big store for APIs, where you can find thousands of them all in one place. We also offer dedicated support and real-time monitoring of all APIs. Once you sign up, you can pick and choose which APIs you want to use. Just remember, each API needs its own subscription. But if you subscribe to multiple ones, you'll use the same key for all of them, making things easier for you.
