Analyze a docket
Configure rulemakings manually to generate Unity Catalog Delta tables, date windows, and custom ingestion parameters. For broad topic monitoring, use the Watchlist or the Discovered Rulemakings panel.
Docket registration
Stage 2 sequentially fetches one detail page per comment from regulations.gov, capped at ~1000 req/hour by api.data.gov. Bottleneck stage: parsing.
- / regulations.gov parsing is rate-limited at api.data.gov (1000 req/hr). 211,885 comments -> at least 212h just for stage 2 detail fetches. Consider starting smaller or splitting the run.
- / Runs over 2 hours are higher risk: a cluster restart or transient failure can lose in-flight parser work because the current ParserAgent doesn't checkpoint mid-loop.
