How to get an API of our job profile content
Find out how to access job and industry information through the careers.govt.nz API (application program interface).
Important update
- The careers.govt.nz website and Jobs API are being replaced with a new careers planning website and a new Occupations API.
- Tahatū Career Navigator is the next generation of the current careers.govt.nz website, profiling nearly 100 school subjects, over 4,000 qualifications and more than 800 career ideas.
- The careers.govt.nz website will be decommissioned on 4 December 2025, and we are no longer granting new API requests.
- If you already have access to the careers.govt.nz API, you’ll be able to continue using it until the website is decommissioned on 4 December 2025. We have reached out directly to current API users about the transition to the new Tahatū API.
- As the careers.govt.nz website will be decommissioned on 4 December 2025, current and new API users should apply for the Tahatū Occupations API. For more information and to request access, visit Tahatū Occupations API
- For more information about Tahatū Career Navigator, please visit the Tertiary Education Commission website.
