FAQ

Where does the data come from? From the official open data API of the Agencia Estatal Boletín Oficial del Estado (www.boe.es).

How fresh is the data? The BOE is published every day except Sundays, early in the morning. Run the Actor with Latest issues = 1 each morning to get the new provisions.

Does it include regional gazettes (DOGC, BOJA, BOCM...)? Not yet. It covers the BOE, which also publishes many regional laws and agreements in sections I and III.

Why are appointments and civil service exams not included? Section II of the BOE mostly concerns specific people. To respect data protection rules, this Actor only covers sections I and III and skips items about specific individuals.

Can I use the full text to train or feed an AI? Yes, the BOE open data is offered for reuse. Always cite the source (Agencia Estatal BOE).
