✨ The 6 things ChatGPT can't do (built in)

Ingredient	Here
🔒 Hard-to-get data	Official v1 API chained: documents.json date-window search + per-document detail — abstract, action, citation (volume & page), CFR references, RINs, docket IDs, regulations.gov links. 100% the official record, zero hallucination.
🛠️ Hardest problems, solved	Server-side term/type/date filters + client-side agency, keyword, significant-only, comment-deadline watch and effective-date countdown — turn 200 documents/week into the 3 that matter to you.
⚙️ Automation	monitor + daily schedule = "every regulation published yesterday in {your industry}" — compliance teams, lobbyists and law firms pay four figures a month for regulatory-intelligence subscriptions.
🧠 AI-agent cheap	$0.001 start + $0.001 per document — Bloomberg Law / Thomson Reuters charge enterprise prices; we charge cents.

🚀 3 recipes that pay

#1 — Daily regulatory digest (compliance officers)

{ "mode": "monitor", "docTypes": ["RULE", "PRORULE"], "daysBack": 1, "significantOnly": true }

→ Schedule 07:00 → every economically-significant rule or proposal published yesterday → Slack/email before your competitors read the news.

#2 — Comment-deadline watch (lobbyists, trade associations)

{ "mode": "monitor", "docTypes": ["PRORULE"], "commentClosingWithinDays": 14, "daysBack": 7 }

→ Re-surface every proposed rule whose public-comment window closes within 2 weeks — never miss your chance to shape the rule.

#3 — Industry radar (FDA/DEA watchers, aviation, energy)

{ "mode": "search", "termQuery": "airworthiness", "agencyIncludes": "Transportation", "daysBack": 30, "maxResults": 100 }

→ Every FAA airworthiness directive from the last month — with PDF, CFR parts and effective dates.

MCP: https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=amygraphics/federal-register-monitor — your agent answers "any new EPA rule this week?" with the actual Federal Register citation, not a blog summary.

🧪 Input reference

Key	Default	What it does
mode	search	monitor = only documents never returned before (KV fedreg-seen, keyed number+type)
termQuery	—	server-side full-text filter
docTypes	RULE, PRORULE	RULE / PRORULE / NOTICE / PRESDOCU / CORRECT
daysBack	7	publication window (Mon–Fri only; weekends empty)
keywords, agencyIncludes	—	client-side refinement
significantOnly	false	economically significant rules only
commentClosingWithinDays	0 = off	comment-deadline watch
effectiveWithinDays	0 = off	effective-date countdown
maxResults/maxProfiles/maxPages	60 / =maxResults / 20	caps (100 docs/page)

Fair use — The Federal Register API is the official, documented, open data service of the US National Archives & GPO. We pace politely, filter server-side by date window, and cache nothing beyond your monitor dedupe store.
