cv.json — open CV data tools (4)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsfetch_cvFreeFetch a person's cv.json — their full machine-readable CV — by FreeCV slug or livelink.cv URL. Returns structured JSON: basics, work, education, skills, languages, availability, ats, verification, i18n.
get_cvjson_schemaFreeReturn the official cv.json JSON Schema (the format spec) — use it to understand or generate a compliant cv.json.
search_open_to_workFreeSearch FreeCV's LIVE index of real people who are open to work — by skills, role/title, location, and recruiter facets (work type, employment type, visa sponsorship, languages, minimum experience). Returns lean candidate cards (name, current role @ company, location, top skills, languages, and the full availability preferences) plus each person's cv.json URL and portfolio URL — enough to shortlist WITHOUT a fetch_cv per candidate. Call fetch_cv on a result to read the complete structured CV. Only already-public profiles are indexed; contact details are never returned (reach candidates via their portfolio).
validate_cvFreeValidate a cv.json document against the official cv.json schema. Provide the document (cvjson, object or JSON string) OR a slug/url to fetch and validate. Returns { valid, errors[] }.

What the publisher says
From the cv.json — open CV data repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
cv.json
An open schema for publishing a CV as a single JSON document at a stable URL — so AI agents, ATS systems, and other tools can read career data without parsing a PDF.
Site · Validator · Schema (v1) · /.well-known/cv.json (discovery)
Status
Emerging. cv.json is not a ratified standard. It is a small, opinionated schema currently maintained by FreeCV and used in production on the FreeCV portfolio platform. We're publishing the schema, validator, and examples here so other tools can adopt it and so the schema can evolve in the open. If you ship a CV product and want a say in v2, open an issue.
cv.json keeps the top-level field names of basics, work, education, skills, projects, languages, publications, awards, volunteer, interests, references, and meta familiar — anyone who has touched a JSON-shaped CV before should feel at home. It adds fields the rest of the ecosystem doesn't have (availability, ats, verification, referencesMode, i18n, the v1.3 hiring-signal block, and x-customSections for user-defined sections) and pins down date formats and a discovery convention.
60-second demo
Every published cv.json lives at a stable URL. No auth, no API key, plain HTTP. Try it right now — the demo profile is live (Ashley is fictional; the endpoint and format are real):
$ curl -s https://livelink.cv/ashley/cv.json | jq '.basics.name, .work[0].company'
"Ashley Carter"
"Brightfold Studio"The response advertises its schema in headers:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
X-CV-Version: 1.2.2
Link: <https://cvjson.com/schema/v1.json>; rel="describedby"
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *
Cache-Control: public, max-age=300Sites that host a CV can also declare it in HTML for crawlers:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/json"
href="/ashley/cv.json" title="cv.json" />…or expose a site-wide discovery manifest at /.well-known/cv.json listing all CVs hosted on the domain.
Schema at a glance
Only basics and meta are required. Everything else is optional and consumers MUST ignore unknown fields.
Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
