US Government

What it does

The Federal Register is the official daily journal of the US government, publishing new and amended federal regulations. This actor queries its public API and returns structured metadata for matching documents — the daily feed that compliance teams, lobbyists, lawyers, and policy analysts track.

Data Source

Federal Register API — official US government public API. Data is public domain (17 USC §105) and published daily at federalregister.gov.

Use Cases

  • Regulatory compliance: track rules that affect your industry
  • Legal / policy teams: monitor agency rulemaking
  • Public comments: find proposed rules with open comment periods
  • Lobbying / advocacy: watch the daily federal register for relevant actions
  • News & journalism: identify newsworthy federal actions

Limitations

  • The API caps full-text search count at 10,000 documents per query
  • agency accepts agency slugs (e.g. nrc, epa, sec, fda)
  • Some rules have no RIN (regulation_id_number empty) or effective date
