How this service works
A crossing for play, feeling, language, science and computation — creating states that do not have names yet.
Output
A JSON array of regulatory topic objects, each with a topic slug, human-readable label, example query path, and counts of open comment periods, recent results, and not-yet-in-force rules broken down by jurisdiction (Japan and US), plus a total_ahead count and an attribution string citing data sources and fetch date.
Example use cases
Regulatory monitoring for compliance teams
“Pull up the list of regulatory topics being tracked right now — I want to see which ones have open comment periods in the US or Japan so I can flag the most time-sensitive ones for our compliance team.”
Policy research topic discovery
“I'm researching government rulemaking activity — can you get me the full list of tracked regulatory topics with their comment-open and not-yet-in-force counts for both Japan and the US?”
Automated regulatory triage for an agent
“Before diving into a specific topic, fetch the available regulatory topic list so I can pick the right slug — especially any topics related to building or housing that have pending rules.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://api.lilambd.com/rules-ahead/topics?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint as a discovery step before querying a specific regulatory topic; it provides the authoritative list of available topic slugs and a cross-jurisdictional summary of regulatory activity counts. Prefer it when you need to enumerate available topics, compare activity across policy areas, or identify which topics are most time-sensitive for public comment in Japan or the US. Not suitable for fetching full rule text or detailed comment content.
Side effects
- Payment not sent or insufficient — HTTP 402 returned requiring x402 payment
- Upstream government APIs (e-Gov, Federal Register) unavailable — stale or empty data returned
- No topics currently have activity — empty data array returned
- Rate limiting or access errors from underlying data sources — partial results
