## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability autoscrape-federal-register-documents-search-92531729
```

Example prompt: Search the Federal Register for proposed rules about PFAS contamination published by the EPA between 2024-01-01 and 2024-12-31 — return up to 5 results.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically search the U.S. Federal Register for regulatory documents, notices, proposed rules, or presidential documents without an API key. It is ideal for compliance monitoring, regulatory research, and policy tracking workflows. Prefer this over direct FederalRegister.gov API calls when you want a unified payment-gated wrapper that fits into x402-compatible agent pipelines.

## Known failure modes

- No documents found for the given query returns an empty results array with count 0
- Invalid date format for dateFrom/dateTo causes query failure or unexpected results
- Unrecognized agency slug returns no results silently
- maxResults is capped at 10 regardless of input value
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC returns HTTP 402 error

## How this service works

No-key evaluation APIs for public data and utilities: business filings, permits, bankruptcy dockets, NPI providers, HTTP status checks, sitemap URL extraction, SEC EDGAR, IRS 990, WHOIS, and validation. Paid x402 access is live.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a total count of matching documents, a results array containing each document's number, type (Rule, Proposed Rule, Notice, Presidential Document), a link to its full HTML page on FederalRegister.gov, and a searchOutcome status indicating whether documents were found.
