Global Regulation & Legislation Search

Global Regulation & Legislation Search pulls structured data from US Federal Register and UK legislation.gov.uk and returns it as a clean dataset you can export as JSON, CSV or Excel. It searches the US Federal Register and UK legislation.gov.uk in a single run and merges the results into one dataset of documents with type, jurisdiction, publication date and a link to the official record, which is what compliance monitoring and horizon scanning need.

No API key, no login. Click Start and it works with the prefilled input.

What does Global Regulation & Legislation Search do?

It queries US Federal Register and UK legislation.gov.uk and returns one row per record, with only the fields that matter. Runs on the Apify platform, so you get an API endpoint, scheduling, monitoring and integrations (Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, webhooks) without maintaining any infrastructure.

Why use it?

• Schedule it to monitor changes daily or weekly and trigger alerts on new records.
• Feed it straight into a spreadsheet, database, or an AI agent via the Apify API or MCP server.
• Runs in seconds and returns a typed dataset that is ready for analysis.

How much does it cost to run?

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing: you pay per result item pushed to the dataset, and nothing for an empty run. Each run is a few seconds of compute, so typical costs are fractions of a cent per run, and the Apify free tier covers plenty of testing.

Tips and advanced options

• Raise maxResults for a bigger pull; the Actor pages through the source for you.
• Schedule it (e.g. every morning) and combine with a webhook to get only the new records.
• Add the Actor to an AI agent through the Apify MCP server for natural-language queries.

FAQ, disclaimers and support
