Federal Register Scraper: U.S. Rules, Notices & Comments

Track new U.S. regulations automatically. The Federal Register is the official daily journal of the U.S. government: every new rule, proposed rule, agency notice and presidential document is published there. This tool searches it and returns:

• Document number, title, type (rule, proposed rule, notice, presidential document), subtype and action
• Abstract (summary)
• Agencies involved
• Publication date, effective date and comment deadline
• Docket IDs, RINs, CFR parts affected, topics, citation, page count, significance and executive order number
• Links to the web page, the official PDF and the full-text XML, plus the comment link on Regulations.gov

Filter by keyword, agency, document type, date, open comment period and significant rules. Data comes from the official FederalRegister.gov API.

Who is it for?

• Compliance, legal and policy teams: get every new rule from the agencies you follow, every morning.
• Lobbyists, trade associations and nonprofits: never miss a comment deadline.
• Government contractors: pairs with the SAM.gov, USAspending and Grants.gov tools listed below.
• Journalists, researchers and AI builders: build datasets and alerts on regulation.
