RGlassdoor

Intro

The Glassdoor API is a simple, lightweight REST API that responds to http requests with JSON (future support for XML is planned). Because it is a REST API, it is completely stateless. Requests are expected to be made in the form of a simple HTTP GET.

Unless otherwise noted, these APIs are available for public use with a free Glassdoor account and pending a short approval process. The APIs that are not provided publicly are available to our API partners. If you're interested in becoming an API partner, please contact us.

Response Codes

You can always count on a high level success flag which will be either true or false, and status which will typically indicate additional information. If the call is successful, there will be a 'response' block. Common statuses are:

OK: request succeeded Access-Denied: your partner id/key are not correct, or not specified. Check the t.p and t.k params in your request Call-specific errors: for example on employer retrieval, it can return Employer-Not-Found
