Free Apify actor. Search the official US Federal Register — federal rules, proposed rules, notices and presidential documents — by keyword, using the government Federal Register API. Reliable, authoritative open data.

What it does

For each keyword, it returns matching Federal Register documents with title, document type, issuing agencies, abstract, publication date and links to the official HTML page and PDF — ideal for regulatory monitoring, legal research and compliance workflows.

Input

FieldTypeDescription
queriesarrayKeywords to search (one search each).
maxResultsintegerDocuments per query (1-100, default 20).

Output (one item per document)

{
"query": "tariff",
"status": "found",
"document_number": "2026-14602",
"title": "Lamb Meat; Institution of Investigation...",
"type": "Notice",
"abstract": "Following receipt of a request from the USTR...",
"publication_date": "2026-07-20",
"agencies": "International Trade Commission",
"html_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/...",
"pdf_url": "https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/....pdf"
}

Every input yields at least one item, with status: found, not_found, or error.

Use cases

  • Monitor new regulations and notices on topics you track.
  • Build regulatory / compliance alerting pipelines.
  • Research agency rulemaking and presidential documents.
  • Feed authoritative government data into dashboards.

Limitations & fair use

Data is public-domain US government data from the Federal Register API. Full-text term search matches the document body; use precise keywords for best relevance.
