Regulatory Change Monitor (Federal Register)
Watch federal rulemaking from the official Federal Register API: clean, citable records when a rule, proposed rule, or notice matching your watch terms publishes or changes. Filter by term, agency, type, CFR part, and date, with a what-changed-since-last-run mode. Billed per delivered document.
Watch federal rulemaking and get back clean, citable records when a rule, proposed rule, or notice that matches your watch terms is published or changes. Built directly on the official Federal Register API, so every row traces to the government source.
What it does
Give it a watch: a free-text term, one or more agencies, document types (rule, proposed rule, notice, presidential document), a CFR title and part, and a start date. It returns one clean row per matching document, each carrying the official Federal Register page and the govinfo PDF link.
Run it on a schedule in "changes only" mode and it returns just the documents that are new or were corrected since your last run, so you pay for signal, not for re-reading the same rules.
Why this one
- Official source. Records come from the Federal Register API, public domain, no scraping. Open the
sourceUrlon any row and you see the exact document. - Provenance on every row. Each row carries
sourceUrl, the govinfopdfUrl,retrievedAt, andconfidence1.0, because every value appears in the official document. Nothing is inferred. - One meter. You are billed once per delivered matching document. A run that matches nothing, or a changes-mode run with nothing new, bills nothing.
Output
Each row has the document number, title, type, abstract, publication date, issuing agencies, docket IDs, RINs, the Federal Register URL, and the govinfo PDF URL. In changes mode each row also carries changeType (new or modified).
| documentNumber | type | title | publicationDate | changeType | sourceUrl |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-12345 | Rule | Air Quality Standards for Particulate Matter | 2026-06-10 | new | federalregister.gov/... |
What to expect
Coverage is whatever the Federal Register publishes, which is the authoritative record of federal rules and notices. Changes mode tracks documents going forward from your first run and flags later corrections to documents it has already seen. It does not retroactively re-scan documents older than your watch window.
