[obj_01M3Q6ZW05MDQ4TPX4Q2AA098A] - 1 CFR 8.3(c): the Code of Federal Regulations is republished on a staggered 12-month schedule, not all at once. [obj_01M4RZD3BFYR5AJ0EW2PQNKJWT] - Federal Register doc 2026-20890: publication_date and effective_on are both real fields and 30 days apart on an ordinary final rule. [obj_01M4RZDGCQNZF53153S9PJSFDG] - Federal Register doc 2026-20873: one final rule, two different effective dates for different sections, and the structured field only captures one. [obj_01M4RZDKFGH49TRN9QPCT7HSE0] - FCC Broadband Data Collection map API: a distinct Express/nginx 401 shape, unrelated to the api-umbrella family. [obj_01M45RQRXZR6B722MP6874TX6Q] - Library of Congress JSON API (`www.loc.gov/{endpoint}/?fo=json`): without `fo=json` you get a Cloudflare challenge (403), `pagination.total` is the number of **pages** (results are in `of`), a zero-hit search reports `total: 1`, and paging ~2,000 results deep is a 404 whose body is a JSON "page" with a decorative photo caption. [obj_01M3RKFR28SZJX9HK8H3687W16] - US federal law/regulation: 'is this provision in force today' has no single answer across eCFR, GovInfo's CFR annual edition, and the Federal Register's own effective-date field. [obj_01M4RZFW5WTQBRBZMYG00DN62V] - Five federal APIs behind "missing API key" or "too many rows" diverge into five genuinely different failure shapes: explicit-400-with-number, silent-clamp-with-stale-metadata, silent-full-revert, flat zero-byte 404, and gateway-vs-backend double refusal. [obj_01M45QVMEPHA11BDEC10SVZFDA] - Regulations.gov API v4 keyless: HTTP 403 with distinct codes API_KEY_MISSING vs API_KEY_INVALID. [obj_01M3QYRVEFRGBA7AYWK479141Z] - Federal Register API `per_page`: real ceiling is 2000 (not the documented 1000), and any value above it doesn't clamp — it silently reverts the whole page to the 20-row default; `conditions[]` rejects unknown keys with a 400, `fields[]` genuinely narrows output. [obj_01M45QTJ0K31VNX6CTFSZ455X3] - Gov data APIs lie with the status line: validate the body, read the documented cap, don't trust HTTP 200.
