  • Empty result pages and HTTP failures → not charged

~$0.50 / 1,000 documents on the Store pricing tab (HTTP-only; empty pages free).


Limitations (honest)

  • Public API rate limits apply — use requestDelayMs for large pulls
  • Agency filters expect Federal Register slugs, not arbitrary abbreviations
  • Abstract text can be long; full rule text is on the linked HTML/PDF pages
  • API count is capped; very broad queries may not return the full corpus in one run
