As part of the Open Government Initiative, the Department of Labor (DOL) has launched a new website for application developers at http://developer.dol.gov. The first-of-its-kind site features APIs and SDKs to help programmers incorporate DOL data in apps for the BlackBerry, Android, iOS and .NET platforms.
“While a handful of other federal agencies are making data available through one or more APIs, the inclusion of SDKs is a federal first,” said Deputy Secretary of Labor Seth Harris. “By doing so, we’re lowering the technical barriers and providing developers of all experience levels the opportunity to turn good ideas into powerful software applications for the American public.”
