The LMI Visualisation tool utilises a variety of software, for cleaning and manipulating data and then for visualising the data.

The data is made available through a JSON API, which allows customised searching and visualisation of data.The data can be retrieved via regular GET requests or JSONP requests (for cross-domain Javascript applications). The data can be combined with other resources (e.g. Occupational descriptions, iCould videos, through use of Standard Occupational Codes (SOC). Most of the data is available at SOC four figure level although some only at 2 figure (depending on sample sizes).

We have developed a plug in for WordPress allowing use of the API. This plug in is used for the ‘Quick Job Facts’ search on the right of this page.
