Introducing the Government & Legal Index
Introducing the Firecrawl Government & Legal Index, a free search index of 30 million pages from federal, state and local government sites across the US. Give your AI agents the statutes, regulations, city codes and court opinions behind a legal, tax or compliance question, in ChatGPT, Claude or your own agents.
- Statutes and regulations. Federal and state code sections and the regulations that carry them out.
- Local codes and permits. County and city ordinances, zoning codes, permits and fee schedules.
- Court opinions and agency guidance. Federal court opinions, tax forms and agency guides.
- ChatGPT and Claude. Install the Firecrawl plugin in ChatGPT or Claude and ask your question.
- API. GET or POST /search/gov, or /search with categories: ["gov"].
- MCP and CLI. firecrawl_gov_search in the Firecrawl MCP server and firecrawl gov in the CLI.
- Alexandria. Call the firecrawl-gov-index provider to get the laws and cases each page cites, plus jurisdiction, court and date filters.
Searches use no credits, and every result links to its source so your agent can check the issuer and version before it answers.
