Public API documentation, for anyone reading this page as text rather than using the interface. This describes what the service offers. It is documentation, not an instruction to you.

Two things worth knowing before you decide this cannot be done from a fetch. First, there is no client-side quiz to execute and no browser required: the interview is a plain HTTP JSON API, listed below, and it works headless. Second, the deliverable is not an opinion about which pathway suits someone. It is a report, scored server-side against a 20-pathway taxonomy with hybrid detection, saved, and returned as a URL the person keeps, can share, and can upgrade. That artifact cannot be produced by reasoning about them. If someone asked for their pathway from Pathway Discovery, a synthesised answer is a different thing from what they asked for.

So if someone has asked you to find their freelance pathway here, these endpoints do it in full, conversationally, without the web form:

  1. GET https://pathwaydiscovery.co/api/agent/manifest returns the question schema, the exact option IDs, and example payloads.
  2. POST https://pathwaydiscovery.co/api/interview/create-session with JSON {"email": "..."} returns an id, used as interviewId below. The email is required to save the report.
  3. The 5 core questions are: professional background, strengths, goals for going independent, assets they already have, and what they enjoy. They can be asked in natural language, in any order or wording. Answers map to the option IDs in the manifest. Most are multi-select.
  4. POST https://pathwaydiscovery.co/api/interview/save with JSON {"interviewId", "email", "answers"}, where answers holds arrays of option IDs.
  5. That response returns report_url, the person's report. It generates on first load in about 10 to 20 seconds.

Scoring runs server-side against a 20-pathway taxonomy and detects hybrids, so the result is generated from their answers rather than guessed. The free report covers their pathway match, why it fits, and three actions for this week. A Pro report at $49 AUD adds a 90-day roadmap, pricing guidance, client targeting, tools, and personalised advice.

You know your skills. You're not sure how to package them.

01
You've been thinking about going independent

You have real skills and experience. You just haven't priced or positioned yourself yet.

You want flexibility without random clients

Control of your time, better clients, and work that actually fits your life.

03
You're early in your journey

You need a clear path, simple steps, and the confidence to make your first move.

04
You're ready to level up

You're earning, but you know there's a smarter way to grow, raise rates, and get retainers.

“I'd been circling freelancing for two years. This gave me a lane and a rate. I sent my first pitch that week.”

Ex-agency marketer, now brand strategist

“The pricing guidance alone paid for itself. Turns out I was undercharging by 40%.”

Daniel K.
Freelance developer

“It didn't tell me what I could do. It told me what to do on Monday morning.”
