## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time or near-real-time access to new US congressional bills and federal statute compilations specifically sourced from GovInfo. It is ideal for compliance agents that need to monitor legislative activity, policy researchers tracking specific topics, or legal agents that require a structured feed of new legislation. Prefer it over general web search when you need clean, structured legislative data with freshness controls and keyword filtering, and when you want GovInfo-authoritative sourcing rather than news summaries.

## Known failure modes

- No results returned if the freshness window is too narrow and no bills were published in that period
- Invalid 'since' format (e.g. '1week' instead of '7d') may result in an error or ignored parameter
- Limit values outside 1–50 range are rejected
- Invalid 'type' enum value causes a validation error
- GovInfo source may have delays; very recent submissions might not appear immediately

## How this service works
