Track new US federal rules, proposed rules, notices, and presidential documents by keyword, agency, document type, and date range. Get clean, structured JSON with direct links to the official HTML and PDF — no browser, no API key, no scraping headaches.
Point it at
"data breach","tariff", a competitor's name, or an agency like the SEC or EPA, and get a ready-to-use feed of everything the US government published on it.
What it does
This Actor queries the official Federal Register API v1
(federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1) and flattens the results into a tidy
dataset. The Federal Register is the daily journal of the US government — every
proposed and final regulation, agency notice, and presidential document.
Each result row includes:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
document_number | Unique Federal Register document number |
title | Document title |
type | Rule, Proposed Rule, Notice, or Presidential Document |
abstract | Summary of the document |
action | The regulatory action (e.g. "Final rule", "Notice of meeting") |
publication_date | Date published in the Federal Register |
effective_on | Date the rule takes effect (if applicable) |
comments_close_on | Public comment deadline (if applicable) |
agencies | List of issuing agencies |
primary_agency | The lead agency |
docket_ids | Regulatory docket IDs |
html_url | Link to the official document page |
pdf_url | Link to the official PDF |
scraped_at | UTC timestamp of extraction |
Example use cases
- Regulatory / compliance monitoring — track every rule or notice from the agencies that regulate you (SEC, EPA, FDA, FCC…).
- Government affairs & lobbying — catch proposed rules and their comment deadlines the day they publish.
- Legal research — pull all documents mentioning a statute, program, or topic, with citable official links.
- Journalism — monitor a keyword across the entire federal government.
- Comment-deadline alerts — filter by
comments_close_onto never miss a public-comment window.
