EU Regulatory Change Records — EUR-Lex Legal Acts

Official source. No API key. Pay per record.

Who this is for and the decision it supports

Compliance, legal-ops, regulatory-affairs and GRC teams who need a clean, dated feed of new EU legal acts (EUR-Lex) to monitor regulatory change.

One record answers: what EU legal act was published, of what type, when, by whom, and what it amends or repeals — a monitored item for a compliance calendar or change log.

What one record is

Each record is one EU legal act: CELEX id, act type, title, document and entry-into-force/end-of-validity dates, authors, and amends/repeals links.

Your first run

Paste this input and run it:

{
  "types": [
    "Regulation"
  ],
  "maxRecords": 10
}

Choose act types and get the newest EU acts as clean JSON in seconds. Here is a real record from that exact input:

{
  "record_id": "32024R2597R(02)",
  "celex": "32024R2597R(02)",
  "act_type": "Regulation",
  "title": null,
  "document_date": "2026-09-08",
  "entry_into_force_date": null,
  "end_of_validity_date": null,
  "authors": [
    "Directorate-General for Translation",
    "European Commission"
  ],
  "amends_celex": [],
  "repeals_celex": [],
  "source": "EU Publications Office (CELLAR / EUR-Lex)",
  "source_url": "https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32024R2597R(02)"
}

What the sample costs: $0.05 per record. The sample above delivers 10 records, so it costs at most $0.50.

Pulling in bulk

Widen the types and date range and raise Maximum records to backfill a full register. A buyer pulls the recent stream (or a full type/date range) to seed and then continuously update a regulatory-change register.

To expand from the sample: raise Maximum records, and widen any filters shown in the input. You are billed only for records actually delivered, so a sample stays cheap and a full pull is predictable.

When to run it again

EUR-Lex publishes new acts continuously; re-run with the since date set to your last pull to append only new acts — a true daily/weekly monitoring feed.

Update schedule: Daily — EUR-Lex publishes new legal acts on an ongoing basis. Verified live at run time: the newest returned act carried a document_date of 2026-09-08 (the day before this audit), confirming daily publication.

How this is different

EU legal acts from EUR-Lex with amends/repeals linkage — the fleet's strongest repeat-use feed; distinct from national procurement or company data.

Limitations (source coverage vs product coverage)

• Metadata-level records (CELEX, type, dates, authors, amends/repeals) — not the full legal text of each act (the source_url links to it).
• Coverage is EUR-Lex act types you select (Regulation, Directive, Decision).
• Dates are as recorded in EUR-Lex.

FAQ

Is this the full legal text?

No — it is the act's metadata and links (CELEX, dates, amends/repeals). The source_url opens the full text on EUR-Lex.

How do I monitor only new acts?

Set the since date to your last run's date; you get only acts published since.

How current is it?

Daily. The newest act in a live run was dated the day before this audit.

Source, licence and how it is built

Source and licence are carried on every record (source, licence, attribution, observed_at). The actor reads only the official public endpoint, honours the source's robots and licence terms, and emits values unmodified with full provenance. Records are keyed on a stable id so re-runs upsert cleanly into a table you keep. Row delivery and billing are exactly equal: you are charged once per record delivered (push-then-charge), so an empty run costs nothing.
