Overview

This node operation performs an autocomplete lookup for skills related to people search filters using the Ocean.io API. It helps users get up to 15 skill suggestions based on a partial query string, which can then be used as filters in subsequent people search operations. This is useful for refining search criteria with accurate skill names before performing more detailed or costly searches or enrichments.

Use Case Examples

1. A user types a partial skill name like 'Java' in the query field, and the node returns a list of matching skills such as 'JavaScript', 'Java Development', etc., which can be used to filter people in a later search step.
2. A CRM system user wants to standardize skill names before searching for leads, so they use this autocomplete to get the correct skill spelling and pass it to the people search filters.

Properties

Output

JSON

• skills - An array of up to 15 skill strings returned as suggestions for people search filters based on the query input.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for Ocean.io to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

• If the query parameter is empty or missing, the node throws an error indicating that the query is required for autocomplete operations.
• If the Ocean.io credit balance is too low, the API may return a 402 error indicating insufficient credits to perform the autocomplete operation.
• Ensure the API credentials are correctly configured to avoid authentication errors.
