FAQ
Questions Federal Register owners ask.
- 01
How do I find documents from a specific agency like the FDA?
First, use the list_agencies capability to find the correct agency slug or ID. Then, use the search_documents capability and provide that slug in the agencies parameter to filter results.
- 02
Can I see documents before they are officially published in the daily register?
Yes! Use the search_public_inspection or get_current_public_inspection capabilities. These access the 'Public Inspection' desk, which contains documents filed for public review before their formal publication date.
- 03
Is it possible to search for documents related to a specific Regulation Identifier Number (RIN)?
Absolutely. Use the search_documents capability and provide the rin parameter. This will return all published documents associated with that specific regulatory action.
