Perplexity

Headless DOL data extraction

Claude Code calls `get_eta_data` directly from the shell. It pipes the output into your scripts, bypassing the need for a browser or GUI. This is ideal for CI/CD pipelines. You get clean, structured data for your automation tasks every time you run a command.

Automated MSHA inspection monitoring

Use `get_msha_inspections` within your shell scripts to pull records. The agent processes the violation data from `get_msha_violations` as part of your cron jobs. This keeps your monitoring logic in the terminal. It provides reliable data points for your backend services.

Direct OSHA search from the terminal

Claude Code queries `get_osha_inspections` to grab safety records for your logs. It handles the data retrieval without interrupting your workflow. You can chain these calls into your existing bash scripts. It makes federal data part of your standard development process.
