Federal Register

• Search documentsSearch everything the U.S. government has published in the Federal Register since 1994: final rules, proposed rules, notices and presidential documents. Narrow by agency, document type, subject, publication or effective date, docket, RIN, part of the Code of Federal Regulations, or distance from a place. Every result carries the agency's own summary, when the rule takes effect and when comments close, so a workflow can alert on a deadline without fetching the document again. No API key required.
• Get a documentGet one published document by its document number, with the agency's summary, its effective and comment-closing dates, the docket and RIN it belongs to, the parts of the Code of Federal Regulations it changes, and links to the official PDF and the full text. No API key required.
• Get several documentsGet several published documents in one step, by their document numbers. Use this instead of a step per document when a workflow has collected numbers over time: from a table of contents, a docket, or a week of alerts. A number with nothing behind it is reported rather than failing the step. No API key required.
• Count documentsCount matching documents and break the total down by month, agency, topic, document type or any other grouping, without fetching the documents themselves. This is how to answer 'which agencies published most about this?' or 'is this picking up?' in one step. Takes exactly the same filters as Search documents. No API key required.
• Get an issue's table of contentsRead one day's issue the way the printed Federal Register lays it out: every document grouped under the agency that published it and the kind of document it is. This is the answer to 'what came out today?', a briefing rather than a search. The Federal Register publishes every federal business day, so a weekend or a holiday has no issue and says so. No API key required.
• List documents on public inspectionList everything filed for public inspection right now: the documents the Federal Register will publish, usually tomorrow. This is the earliest anyone outside the issuing agency can see them, which is the whole reason to watch this list rather than the published one. Special filings, filed ahead of schedule because they are urgent, are counted separately. No API key required.
• Search documents on public inspectionSearch the documents on public inspection, the ones filed but not yet published, by words, agency, document type or docket. Use this to catch a rule that matters the day before it appears; use Search documents for anything already published. No API key required.
• Get a public inspection documentGet one document on public inspection by its document number, with when it was filed, when it is due to be published, and links to the filed PDF and its full text. Once it is published, use Get a document instead; the number stays the same. No API key required.
• Get several public inspection documentsGet several documents on public inspection in one step, by their document numbers. A number with nothing behind it, usually one that has since been published, is reported rather than failing the step. No API key required.
• List agenciesList the agencies that publish in the Federal Register: around 470 of them, departments and their sub-agencies alike, with what each one does, its parent department and its seal. Search by name to turn 'the Coast Guard' into the identifier every agency filter takes. No API key required.
• Get an agencyGet one agency by its identifier: what it does, how it was established, the department it belongs to, its sub-agencies, its website and its seal. No API key required.
• Get an imageGet every size of an image published with a document: a map, a diagram, a presidential signature. Each size comes with its dimensions and a direct URL. Image identifiers come from a document's 'image identifiers', so run Get a document first. No API key required.
• List suggested searchesList the Federal Register's own curated searches: around ninety subjects its editors maintain, from Airworthiness Directives to Economic Sanctions, with how many documents each matched in the past year and how many are still open for comment. A good way to find the right words for a subject before writing a search of your own. No API key required.
• Get a suggested searchGet one curated search, with the editors' description of the subject and the exact words the Federal Register searches for on it. Hand those words to Search documents' search text to follow the subject without having to work out the query. No API key required.
