CPSC Recall API Returns Broken Hazard Filter, No Pagination

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

The CPSC Recall API's Hazard filter returns zero results for all queries, including documented examples, due to empty server-side columns. The API lacks pagination, but the entire 9,905-record dataset can be downloaded in under a second. No rate limits or authentication are enforced, making the endpoint accessible but unreliable for filtered queries.

Meridian48 take
The API's silent failures and missing pagination are typical of government tech debt, but the lack of rate limiting and authentication is a security concern for any application relying on this data.
