Federal Register Scraper: Rules, Notices & Executive Orders
Pricing
from $0.48 / 1,000 document scrapeds
Pull US Federal Register documents for one or many search terms: final and proposed rules, notices and executive orders with agencies, effective dates, comment deadlines, dockets, RINs, CFR parts, full text and PDF links. No proxy. $0.80 per 1,000 documents.
search = published documents matching the filters below. publicInspection = documents on public inspection right now, i.e. the ones being published in the next business day(s); only the agency, document type and query filters apply.
Full-text search, same syntax as the FederalRegister.gov search box (e.g. artificial intelligence, "per- and polyfluoroalkyl", tariff | duty). Empty = all documents matching the other filters.
Run several full-text searches in one go, each with the filters below (e.g. artificial intelligence, PFAS, tariff). Every row says which term found it; a document found by two terms is returned once.
Cap for each search term when you give several. Empty = no per-term cap (only Max documents applies).
Agency names, abbreviations or slugs as listed on federalregister.gov/agencies (e.g. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, food-and-drug-administration, SEC). Matches any.
Which kinds of documents to return. Empty = all types.
[ "RULE"]Narrow presidential documents, e.g. executive orders only. Selecting any adds Presidential documents to the document types.
Publication date on or after (YYYY-MM-DD). Empty = the last 30 days, unless you set a To date, search terms, a docket, a RIN, a CFR part or open-comments-only (then all dates).
Publication date on or before (YYYY-MM-DD). Empty = no upper limit.
Only rules whose effective date is on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Handy for upcoming compliance deadlines.
Only documents deemed significant under Executive Order 12866 (major economic or policy impact).
Agency docket number, e.g. EPA-HQ-OAR-2021-0317 or USCG-2026-1270.
Unified Agenda RIN, e.g. 2060-AV16.
Documents affecting a Code of Federal Regulations title or part, e.g. 40 CFR 60 or 21 CFR 101 or just 12.
Fetch these exact documents by FR document number (e.g. 2026-20902). When set, all search filters are ignored. Numbers not found are skipped (and not charged).
Order of results. Empty = relevance when you set search terms, otherwise newest first.
Adds fullText (plain text of the whole document, up to 200,000 characters). One extra request per document, so runs are slower; capped at 1,000 documents per run.
