Tools

• list_collections — List GovInfo collections (BILLS, CFR, USCODE, FR, CHRG, CRPT, HMAN, PLAW, SERIALSET, USCOURTS, etc.) with package counts. Use the collection code with search_packages to filter.
• search_packages — Full-text + faceted search across GovInfo. Filter by collection codes (comma-separated), date range, congress, court (for USCOURTS), and free-text query. Returns package IDs and titles.
• get_package — Metadata for a single package by packageId (e.g., "BILLS-118hr1234ih", "FR-2024-05-12"). Returns title, dates, citations, granule count, download links (PDF/XML/MODS).
• list_granules — List granules within a package — e.g., sections of a CFR title, individual entries in a Federal Register issue. Returns granule IDs + titles.
• get_granule — Fetch summary metadata for a single granule (sub-unit) within a GovInfo package, given package_id and granule_id (both from list_granules). Returns title, class, and provenance fields from the GovInfo summary endpoint.
