Glassdoor Salaries API Documentation Retrieve salaries by job title, optionally for one employer: matched job title, employer, currency, pay period, mean base pay, mean additional pay and total pay percentiles (p10 to p90). The estimate block holds the market-wide estimate for the job title. A job title without matches returns an empty salaries list and is a successful response.
