# List Federal Register documents

`GET /api/regulations`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://noozra.com`
- URL: `https://noozra.com/api/regulations`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/noozra/apis/noozra-news-api/docs/api/regulations/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Rules, proposed rules, notices and presidential documents published in the Federal Register, from federalregister.gov. Each item's `date` is the day the document was published in the Federal Register. Sort with `sort`; page by passing `next_cursor` back as `cursor`. `as_of` is when the data was last known current. Records dated in the last 14 days for every key; API Pro reaches every record.

- `type` 'rule' | 'proposed_rule' | 'notice' | 'presidential'
- `agency` string

## Other responses

- `400`: A parameter out of shape (the `error` says which), a sort this dataset does not take, a cursor not given out for this sort, or a date outside 1970–9999
- `401`: No API key, or an invalid or revoked one
- `403`: `after` reaches past the last 14 days: that needs API Pro
- `429`: Daily rate limit exceeded (honor the Retry-After header)
