How this service works
AnswerPool turns SEC EDGAR, the Federal Register, USAspending, NIH, BLS and OpenAlex into structured JSON answers that AI agents and developers fetch in one call. 69 endpoints free, no account; derived analyses $0.02–$0.05 per call by card credits or USDC (x402). MCP server, full provenance.
Output
A JSON object containing an as_of timestamp, total count of matching documents, and an array of rule records each with title, action type, abstract, topics, agencies, docket IDs, CFR references, regulation ID numbers, publication and effective dates, comment close date, pre-computed days_to_effective and days_to_comment_close integers, and an array of flags such as 'significant', 'comments_close_soon', 'effective_soon', and 'final_rule_pending_effect'.
Example use cases
Compliance deadline monitoring for legal team
“Get me all the current rules and proposed rules from the EPA, and flag any where the comment period is closing soon or the effective date is within two weeks — I need the day-counts so my team can prioritize.”
Regulatory research for policy analyst
“Show me every rule the CFPB has published recently, newest first, and highlight which ones are marked significant — I'm writing a briefing on recent consumer finance regulation.”
Automated regulatory alert for fintech startup
“Fetch the latest rules and proposed rules from the SEC so I can check if there are any new cybersecurity or disclosure requirements my company needs to be aware of, including how many days we have before they take effect.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/regs/agencyWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a complete, pre-processed snapshot of all regulatory activity for a single federal agency in one call — especially when deadline math (days to comment close, days to effective date) and significance flags matter. It replaces the need to integrate directly with the Federal Register API and compute date arithmetic yourself. Prefer it over general Federal Register APIs when building compliance monitors, regulatory dashboards, or alert systems focused on a specific agency.
Side effects
- Unknown or misspelled agency identifier returns empty results or 404
- Agency with no recent rules returns count of 0 and empty documents array
- Network timeout if Federal Register source is slow
- Rate limiting or payment failure if x402 USDC payment is not processed
- Stale as_of timestamp if upstream Federal Register data is delayed
