Where does the data come from?

The official federalregister.gov API, public domain, proxied live with responses cached for an hour for searches and a day for document detail.

What does a document include?

Title, abstract, type, agencies, publication date and HTML and PDF links in search results, and in detail, CFR references, docket ids, effective dates, comment deadlines and raw-text URLs.

Can I search executive orders specifically?

Yes. A dedicated endpoint lists executive orders with filters for president, date range and keyword.

The Federal Register publishes every business day and searches are cached for one hour, so a document appears within an hour of publication.

What does a call cost?

2 tokens, because each request reaches the Federal Register live.

Federal Register API

Search every Federal Register rule, proposed rule, notice and executive order by keyword, agency and date

The US government's daily journal, queryable. Search every Federal Register document — final rules, proposed rules, notices and presidential documents — by keyword, type, agency and date ('artificial intelligence' final rules: 318 and counting), with title, abstract, agencies, publication date and both HTML and PDF links, plus full document detail with CFR references, docket ids, effective dates, comment deadlines and raw-text URLs. A dedicated executive-orders endpoint covers every EO since the Clinton administration with number, signing date and president — filter by president (Obama: exactly 294) or signing-date range; friendly names like 'obama' and 'biden' resolve to the official identifiers. An agencies directory (with the slugs the filters expect) rounds it out. Responses proxy the official National Archives API with 1-hour edge caching, and the pagination quirk where the upstream floors page size at 20 is handled so pages never skip documents. Legal tech, compliance monitoring, policy research, lobbying intelligence and newsrooms — regulatory change, at API speed.

Every call needs an X-Api-Key header. A free key includes 500 tokens a month, no card required. 2 tokens per call, so the free plan covers about 250 calls a month.

Colorado's 2022 regional haze SIP revision addresses the requirement that states revise their long-term strategies every implementation period to make reasonable progress towards the national goal of preventing any future, and remedying any existing, anthropogenic impairment of visibility, including regional haze, in mandatory Class I Federal areas (Class I areas). We are disapproving Colorado's 2022 regional haze SIP revision pursuant to the CAA and regulatory regional haze requirements. The EPA is not taking final action at this time on a separate revision to Colorado's SIP that consolidates existing, previously approved regional haze provisions into the same regulation where Colorado's new, second planning period provisions are located.",

      "abstract": "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA, or Agency) is finalizing amendments to the new source performance standards (NSPS) for stationary combustion turbines and stationary gas turbines pursuant to a review required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). As a result of this review, the EPA is establishing subcategories for new, modified, or reconstructed stationary combustion turbines based on size, rates of utilization, design efficiency, and fuel type. The EPA determined that combustion controls are the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for nitrogen oxide (NO<INF>X</INF>) emissions for most new, modified, or reconstructed stationary combustion turbines. For one subcategory, the BSER for NO<INF>X</INF> is combustion controls with the addition of selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The EPA further determined that the BSER for sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) emissions has not changed since the last NSPS review. Based on these determinations, the Agency is promulgating standards of performance in a new subpart of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR). The Agency is also adding a subcategory for stationary combustion turbines that are used in temporary applications, exempting certain sources from title V requirements, and finalizing other provisions. The EPA is finalizing amendments to existing regulations to address or clarify specific technical and editorial issues.",
