}Fetches one Federal Register document by its document number (for example 2025-02006): type, agencies, publication and signing dates, FR citation, effective date, comment deadline, docket and the official govinfo PDF. For compliance teams, lawyers and researchers who have the document number from a notice, docket or URL and want the primary record rather than a secondary summary. Source: the Federal Register (FederalRegister.gov API). It needs the document number: it does not resolve a page citation such as 90 FR 8443, and it does not return the full text (follow html_url or pdf_url). (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| document_number | string | string, required, Federal Register document number, e.g. 2025-02006 (not an FR page citation such as 90 FR 8443) |

}When did OPM last close federal offices or allow early departure? Lists the US Office of Personnel Management's past operating status postings for the Washington, DC area, newest first: closures, delayed arrivals, early departures, unscheduled leave or telework days and lapses in appropriations, each with the date it applied to and when it was posted and replaced. Useful for HR, payroll and contractor questions. Ordinary open days are mostly not listed, and the online history covers recent years only. (cost: 1 credit)
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| count | string | integer, optional, number of postings to return, 1-100, default 20 |
| startrow | string | integer, optional, how many of the newest postings to skip (for paging), default 0 |

}Are federal offices open today? Returns the US Office of Personnel Management's current operating status for the federal government in the Washington, DC area (open, delayed arrival, early departure, closed, unscheduled leave or telework allowed, or a lapse in appropriations), with the date it applies to and OPM's guidance for employees. Useful for federal workers, contractors and visitors on snow days and funding deadlines. It covers the DC area only; agencies elsewhere set their own local status, and it does not cover individual agency closures. (cost: 1 credit)

}Is the US government shut down right now? Answers yes or no from the US Office of Personnel Management's current operating status, flagging a lapse in appropriations and telling a partial lapse (only some agencies unfunded) apart from a full one, with OPM's exact wording and when the notice was posted. It reflects OPM's posted status only: it does not forecast funding deadlines, and during a lapse each agency decides which staff keep working. (cost: 1 credit)
No arguments.
