Support for direct access to FRE, FRCP, FRAP, etc. #37

While it's possible to get to FRE 101 with /uscode/28/101?type=uscappendix, it's not clear how to get to FRCP 12 because /uscode/28/12?type=uscappendix yields FRAP 12.

It would be handy to have dedicated endpoints for FRE, FRAP, FRCP such as /fre/101, /frap/12, /frcp/12.

Hi, any feedback on this? Until we can use the govinfo.gov/link approach to get these rules, we're directly parsing the Appendix at uscode.house.gov, but that's a bit clunky. Would much rather have direct links if possible, but see issue above.

@lslalbai - apologies for missing this one. To confirm:

FRE = Federal Rules of Evidence - link
FRAP = Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure - link
FRCP = Federal Rules of Civil Procedure - link

I am looking at options for this, as they are not easily citeable for link service in their current state. My short-term recommendation would be to use the detail link for each of the top level granules, which will indicate that these are the latest version or if there is a new one.
