# Federal Register Electric Grid Reliability & Interconnection Rule Changes

> Federal Register Electric Grid Reliability & Interconnection Rule Changes is a paid API for AI agents from oracles-production.up.railway.app, paid per call via x402, $0.05/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-15).

Returns Federal Register final and proposed rules for electric-grid reliability and interconnection since a given timestamp, each scored 1-10 for compliance impact with effective dates and primary-source links.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://oracles-production.up.railway.app/v1/reg-grid-reliability/changes
- Price: $0.05/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

- Activations on Zero: 0
- Tags: x402
- Canonical page: https://www.zero.xyz/c/federal-register-electric-grid-reliability-interconnection-rule-changes-82d6e8c4

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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 federal-register-electric-grid-reliability-interconnection-rule-changes-82d6e8c4
```

Example prompt: Pull all Federal Register grid reliability and interconnection rule changes since January 1 2025, but only show me the ones scored at least 7 out of 10 for compliance impact — up to 50 results.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured, scored, and timestamped Federal Register rule changes specifically scoped to electric grid reliability and interconnection — it saves parsing the full Federal Register feed and adds compliance impact scoring. Prefer it over generic Federal Register search when you need to monitor ongoing regulatory changes for energy/utility compliance workflows, or when you need filtered, high-significance rules only via min_significance.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid ISO-8601 format for 'since' parameter returns a 400 validation error
- min_significance or limit out of allowed range (1-10 / 1-500) returns a 400 error
- No matching rules in the requested window returns count=0 with empty changes array
- Upstream Federal Register data source unavailable causes 502 or 503 error
- Payment not included or invalid x402 payment header returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Federal Register final & proposed rules affecting electric-grid reliability & interconnection (Federal Energy Regulatory Commission) since a timestamp — covering reliability, interconnection, grid, nerc, transmission planning — each scored 1-10 for compliance impact, with effective dates and primary-source links.

## Output

A JSON object containing a count of matching changes and an array of rule change records, each with a title, type (final or proposed rule), a 1-10 compliance impact significance score, a plain-language summary, effective date, ISO-8601 detectedAt timestamp, a primary-source Federal Register URL for verification, and a structured detail object with additional metadata.
