# GET /v5/skill/enrich stops working

Calls to GET /v5/skill/enrich on People Data Labs API stopped working on April 15, 2025.

On April 15, 2025, the Skill Enrichment API was sunset. Any requests sent to GET /v5/skill/enrich fail because the endpoint is no longer available.

## What to use instead

Remove calls to GET /v5/skill/enrich. Because there is no direct replacement, rebuild downstream workflows to search people by skill using the Person Search API (POST /v5/person/search) or enrich titles using the Job Title Enrichment API (GET /v5/job_title/enrich).

No direct replacement: what the skill lookups fed has to be rebuilt on another API.
