description: 'ILAB is the U.S. Department of Labor bureau that strengthens global labor standards, enforces labor commitments
  in trade agreements, promotes equity, and combats child labor, forced labor and human trafficking. ILAB operates no API
  of its own: its seven public datasets — the Child Labor Report and the ImportWatch and LaborShield families, all derived
  from ILAB''s three flagship reports — are served through the department-wide DOL Open Data Portal API at apiprod.dol.gov/v4,
  under the agency segment ''ilab'', with a free X-API-KEY credential.'

  description: ILAB's datasets are served through the U.S. Department of Labor Open Data Portal API (https://apiprod.dol.gov/v4)
    under the agency segment 'ilab'. The catalogue route /v4/datasets answers anonymously; dataset rows and metadata require
    a free X-API-KEY. Seven ILAB datasets cover child labor, forced labor, goods produced by child or forced labor, and Harmonized
    Tariff Schedule matches to U.S. import trade data. The previously recorded base URL https://api.dol.gov/V1/ILAB is retired
    and now returns an AWS API Gateway route-not-found 403.
  features:
  - Child Labor Data
  - Forced Labor Data
  - Country Profiles
  - Trade Agreement Compliance
  useCases:
  - Research global labor standards violations
  - Track goods produced with child or forced labor
  - Monitor trade agreement labor commitments
