Pulls documents from the Federal Register and hands them back as clean JSON. Rules, proposed rules, notices, presidential documents. Filter by type, keyword, agency, or publication date. Ask for a single document number and you get the full detail with topics, the action line, the dates summary, and the full text URL.

Data comes straight from the public Federal Register API. No key, no proxy, no browser, no scraping tricks. Just JSON in, JSON out.
