FAQ
Is this legal advice? No. It is a data lookup of public records. Does it include open investigations? No, only concluded cases (WHD publishes closed actions since FY2005). How fresh is the data? It follows the public WHD dataset refreshes, typically quarterly. Why zero rows? Loosen filters: clear the name, lower the date, or untick violations only.
Pricing
Pay per result (about $2 per 1,000 rows). You only pay for rows delivered.
