Get regulatory changes

Returns curated regulatory change entries for the requested categories, filtered to those dated on or after `since`. Each entry carries a `kind` (`adopted`, `amended`, `date_moved`, `standard_published`, `standard_cited`, `applies_from`, …), the EU instrument or standard it concerns, the affected categories, a plain-language summary (in the response locale), and a primary source URL. The `data.upcoming` array lists dated DPP obligations and planned acts in the next 90 days for the given categories; planned entries are labelled 'Planned, not law yet' and never worded as a deadline.

Get regulatory changes

Returns curated regulatory change entries for the requested categories, filtered to those dated on or after `since`. Each entry carries a `kind` (`adopted`, `amended`, `date_moved`, `standard_published`, `standard_cited`, `applies_from`, …), the EU instrument or standard it concerns, the affected categories, a plain-language summary (in the response locale), and a primary source URL. The `data.upcoming` array lists dated DPP obligations and planned acts in the next 90 days for the given categories; planned entries are labelled 'Planned, not law yet' and never worded as a deadline.

The `since` date defaults to the date of the last `what_changed` answer this company's account made (from the answer log), or 90 days ago on first use. Pass an explicit `since` in ISO-8601 format (`YYYY-MM-DD`) to override. Available on every plan. Counts one scope answer (~100/day per company). Returns 429 `scope_answer_cap` at the limit.

Source: a curated `regulatory-changes.json` maintained in `tracepass-extraction-core`. Only entries that have been verified against a primary source enter the file; the `regulatory-status-change` skill appends to it. The raw regulatory-events feed is never exposed here.

Query parameters

  • categories

    string

    Comma-separated category keys — e.g. `battery,detergents`. When absent, all categories are returned.

    e.g. battery

  • since

    string (YYYY-MM-DD)

    Return entries dated on or after this date. Defaults to the date of the company's last `what_changed` answer, or 90 days ago on first use.

    e.g. 2026-07-01

  • locale

    string

    Response language for `answer` and each item's `summary` — `en`, `bg`, `de`, or `it`. Defaults to `Accept-Language`, then `en`.

    e.g. en

Headers

  • Authorizationrequired

    string

    `Bearer <token>` — either a `tp_` API key (Developer → API Keys; simplest, for server-to-server) or an OAuth 2.0 access token (Developer → OAuth Apps; for user-authorized apps, scoped + revocable). The Authentication page has the full OAuth flow and scope list.

    e.g. Bearer tp_REDACTED_xxxxxxxxxxxx
