The smallest valid profile

Only a name and six fields in the openconsultant object are required. Everything else is optional and can be added over time.

The entry file

This is what a consulting company serves at /openconsultant.json on its own domain. It lists one profile, the one above.

Reading the example

The files allow cross-origin requests, so this runs in a browser console as well as in Node.js. A real publisher’s entry file is at /openconsultant.json on their own domain. The example lives under /examples/ on this site.

const entryFile = 'https://openconsultant.io/examples/manifest.json';

const manifest = await fetch(entryFile).then((response) => response.json());
if (manifest.standard !== 'OpenConsultant') throw new Error('Not an OpenConsultant entry file');

for (const entry of manifest.consultants) {
  const profile = await fetch(entry.url).then((response) => response.json());
  const { availability, company } = profile.openconsultant;

  console.log(`${profile.basics.name}, ${profile.basics.label} at ${company.name}`);
  console.log(`Availability: ${availability.status} ${availability.availableFrom ?? ''}`);
  console.log(`Source: ${profile.openconsultant.canonicalUrl}`);
}

The same thing from a terminal:

curl -s https://openconsultant.io/examples/manifest.json
