Overview

The API provided by https://developer.dol.gov/others/sweat-and-toil/ integrates valuable information on child labor and forced labor. This information is gathered from three major reports, “Findings on the Worst Forms of Child Labor,” “List of Goods Produced by Child Labor or Forced Labor,” and “List of Products Produced by Forced or Indentured Child Labor.” The API is designed to help businesses and organizations make informed decisions about their supply chains, and to assist consumers in making responsible choices when purchasing goods and products.

API Code Sample

Here's an example of how you can use the API to retrieve information in JavaScript:

const apiUrl = "https://developer.dol.gov/others/sweat-and-toil/";
const product = "jeans";
const queryUrl = `${apiUrl}?product=${product}`;

fetch(queryUrl)
  .then(response => {
    if(!response.ok) {
      throw new Error("Network response was not ok");
    }
    return response.json()
  })
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));
