Search and monitor US Federal Register documents — final rules, proposed rules, notices, and presidential documents — by keyword, agency, and type. Get clean, flat JSON records from the official federalregister.gov API, or schedule with incremental mode to receive only documents published since the last run: an automated regulatory-monitoring pipeline for compliance, policy, and government-affairs teams.

Quick start

1. Click Start with the prefilled search artificial intelligence. It finishes in under a minute.
2. You get up to 25 Federal Register documents with agency, type, dates and links.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The official federalregister.gov API is open and keyless.

How do I monitor new regulations for my industry? Set a keyword (e.g. artificial intelligence, PFAS), optionally documentTypes (RULE, PRORULE, NOTICE, PRESDOCU) and agencySlugs, then schedule daily with sinceLastRun: true. Only new documents are returned and charged.

Does it include comment-period proposed rules and executive orders? Yes. Proposed rules (PRORULE) and presidential documents such as executive orders (PRESDOCU) are supported, with abstract, agencies, HTML and PDF links.

Can I call it from Python, JavaScript, Make, Zapier or an AI agent? Yes. Run it through the Apify API or official Python/JavaScript clients, connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Slack or Google Sheets via Apify integrations, or expose it to AI agents through the Apify MCP server. Input is small and output is deterministic flat JSON.
