• API.DOL.GOV

  The API is exposed as an OData producer, with the addition of request authorizations. We are providing SDK's for some platforms that abstract the OData and request signing process and provides you with an easy to use method call. Please visit the SDKs Page to learn more about the DOL Data SDKs.

  Example Assume that you want to read data from the agencies table found in the dataset named DOLAgency. The request URL is:

  http://api.dol.gov/V1/DOLAgency/Agencies

  Your API Key (Token) is d9c6c290-da4c-424e-a378-fb4bd027b58z

  note: This token is only an example. It is not usable.s

  Your direct link to Agency data using the input above is:

  http://api.dol.gov/V1/DOLAgency/Agencies/?KEY=d9c6c290-da4c-424e-a378-fb4bd027b58z

• DATA.DOL.GOV

  The API is exposed as a RESTful interface. We require you to authenticate by placing your token in the header. We are providing SDK's for some platforms in order to provide you with an easy to use method call. Please visit the SDKs Page to learn more about the DOL Data SDKs.

  Example Assume that you want to read data from the incidents table found in the OSHA Enforcement dataset. The request URL is:

  https://data.dol.gov/get/inspection

  Your API Key (Token) is d9c6c290-da4c-424e-a378-fb4bd027b58z

  Your authentication header would contain the key/value of:

  X-API-KEY: d9c6c290-da4c-424e-a378-fb4bd027b58z

• API.DOL.GOV

  By default, the DOL V1 (api.dol.gov) API's responses are in XML format. To receive the data in JSON, send an "Accept" header with "application/json."

• DATA.DOL.GOV

  Data.dol.gov sends responses by default in JSON format. To customize the return format, simply add /format/xml or /format/json to the request URL. For example:

  https://data.dol.gov/get/inspection/format/xml

Following the steps above will return the first 100 records. To retrieve more or to be more selective in the data that is returned, read on about accessing the API using HTTP requests.
