## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need the authoritative, current statutory text of a specific US Code section by its precise title and section number. Prefer this over general web search when you need reliable, machine-readable statute text with source credit and currency information — ideal for legal research agents, compliance workflows, or any application that must cite or verify federal law accurately.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid title number (must be 1-54) returns an error
- Section number not found in the specified title returns a not-found error
- Malformed section number format causes a validation error
- Network or upstream GovInfo service unavailability causes a timeout or 5xx error
- maxChars set too low may truncate the response mid-statute

## How this service works

The current text of a US Code section by title and section number: the statutory text, its source credit, the chapter it sits in, the edition it comes from and the date it is current through.

## Output

Returns the current statutory text of the specified US Code section, along with the source credit (legislative history citation), the chapter it belongs to, the edition of the US Code, and the date through which the text is current. Optionally includes editorial and statutory notes, which can be substantially longer than the section text itself.
