What it answers

What an agency did
Agency, document type and date are filters; the action kind is extracted.
What is still open
Comment deadlines are dates, so what is still open for comment is a query.
Who it hits
Affected parties are extracted, so a rule can be matched to an industry.

Three calls

Straight from the gateway’s own self-description — these are the calls it suggests first.

Rules from one agency

Proposed rules still open for comment
POST /v1/fr/search {"query": "出口管制 半导体", "filters": {"doc_type": "Proposed Rule", "comments_close_on": {"gte": "2026-10-09"}}}

What it will not do

Words, not meaning: this domain has no vectors either. For a formal citation, go back to the Federal Register original.

  • Division of labour with us_law: us_law holds the provisions in force (clause-level CFR / USC); fr holds the notices themselves (who changed what, when).
  • doc_type uses the official capitalisation (Rule / Proposed Rule / Notice / Presidential Document / Uncategorized Document / Correction / Sunshine Act Document); lowercase 'rule' matches nothing.
  • Rules open for comment: filters.comments_close_on={"gte": "<today>"}; upcoming effect: a range on effective_on.
