# Autocomplete API

## Overview

The Autocomplete API allows you to get suggestions for Search API query values along with the number of available records for each suggestion. For example, `schools starting with "harv"`.

This API provides access to our [canonicalized datasets](/docs/canonical-data) and is meant for use in conjunction with the Person and Company Search APIs as a way of previewing what records are available before retrieving them. The Autocomplete API currently supports completion for the following field values:

* `class`: Job Classes
* `company`: Company Names
* `country`: Country Names
* `industry`: Industries
* `location`: Location Names
* `major`: Educational Majors (Field of Study)
* `region`: Region Name (for example, states for the US)
* `role`: Job Roles
* `sub_role`: Job Sub Roles
* `school`: School Names
* `skill`: Skills
* `title`: Job Titles
* `website`: Company Websites
