Job Tag Cloud API (HTML/XML)

A prebuilt job tag cloud is ready for you to integrate with your websites. All you need to do is retrieving the tag cloud in HTML format at http://www.joborate.com/api/tagcloud/jobtags.html. You can also style the 'tagcloud' and 'tag' DIVs using CSS.

Output Sample (Prebuilt HTML Tag Cloud)

If you need more flexibility and advanced data manipulation rather than the prebuilt tag cloud, you can choose to retrieve our XML data source at http://www.joborate.com/api/tagcloud/jobtags.xml.
