Endpoint to display differences between different editions of CFR, USCODE #39

Open Aniformer opened 5 years ago

Aniformer commented 5 years ago

Hi team,

Is their any API endpoint output that gives us the difference in old regulation text and new within the code of Federal Regulations, for any rule changes published in the federal register.

Secondly is their an API endpoint or access to difference between old and new text for US Code statutes, for any legislative changes via the Congress.

The information that we're looking for can be in any form from XML File returned after making a certain API call or the JSON response received upon making a certain API call.

Thank you, Anirudh

@Aniformer -- similar to #38, we do not currently have any functionality that would provide a diff of old vs. new regulation text within the CFR. At this time, we do provide ECFR via bulkdata and the API, which would allow you to compare a previous edition of the ECFR with a new one to see what changes were made within a given title.

If that functionality were made available in govinfo, we would also work to make it available via our API.
