What's new in RegIntel

Push instead of poll: register a URL and RegIntel POSTs a signed payload the moment a regulation you care about changes. HMAC-SHA256 signing, automatic retry with exponential backoff. Starter and Pro plans.

• 8 new endpoints — POST /api/webhooks (register), GET (list / detail), PATCH (update filters or pause), DELETE, /rotate, /test, /deliveries. See docs.
• Filters — scope your webhook to specific tags, jurisdictions, or industries. Ex: only fire for jurisdiction=Australia + tags=migration.
• HMAC-SHA256 signing — every POST carries X-RegIntel-Signature: sha256=<hex>, timestamp, and event-id headers. Verify with 5 lines of code.
• Retry with backoff — failed deliveries retry at 0s, 30s, 5m, 30m, 3h. Endpoints stuck failing for 24 hours are auto-paused and you get an email.
• Payload versioning — schema_version: "1" on every event so we can evolve the shape without breaking your integration.
• Plan gating — Starter (2 endpoints, 1k deliveries/mo), Pro (10 endpoints, 10k deliveries/mo). Free plan: upgrade to enable.

All billed endpoints now accept 5 anonymous requests per IP before requiring an API key. Try RegIntel from your MCP client or a curl before signing up.

• Anon quota on 5 endpoints — /regulations, /regulations/{id}, /updates, /compliance-check, /aasb-s2/obligations. First 5 anonymous calls per IP return real data; the 6th returns a 402 with an upgrade prompt to /k.
• x-anon-calls-remaining header — every anon response includes a countdown so clients can show remaining quota. Absent on authenticated calls.
• 402 discriminator — the 402 response body now carries an error field: insufficient_credits for authenticated callers, anonymous_quota_exhausted for unauthenticated. Existing authenticated clients see no contract change.
• regintel-mcp v0.6.0 — instead of showing a canned demo when no API key is set, the MCP calls the real API and returns real data with a countdown footer. Demo response + upgrade prompt shows only after the quota is exhausted.

Two new Australian regulatory verticals added: Migration (Act, Regulations, OMARA Code, Skilled Occupation List) and NDIS (Act, Pricing Arrangements, Practice Standards, Code of Conduct). Structured deltas via the weekly research loop; dedicated landing pages at /for-migration.html and /for-ndis.html.

• 4 new Migration rows — Migration Act 1958 (Cth), Migration Regulations 1994 (Cth), Migration Agents Code of Conduct, and Skilled Occupation List legislative instruments. Federal Register-sourced. Query GET /regulations?tag=migration&country=Australia.
• 4 new NDIS rows — NDIS Act 2013 (Cth), NDIS Pricing Arrangements and Price Limits (the revenue-critical annual delta), Provider Registration + Practice Standards Rules 2018, and Code of Conduct Rules 2018. NDIA + Federal Register sourced.
• Two landing pages — for-migration.html targets Registered Migration Agents meeting OMARA Code library obligations; for-ndis.html targets registered providers and plan managers who need current price limits.
• Weekly research loop expanded — Australia-only deep verticals (Migration & immigration, Disability services, Sustainability) now researched every Sunday, so amendments surface in the Tuesday digest.
• MCP package v0.5.0 — search_regulations tool description lists the two new verticals as first-class Australian examples; new tag filters (migration, ndis, pricing-arrangements, omara) available.
• Information only — RegIntel structures regulatory text and cites the source. Consult a qualified professional (Registered Migration Agent, immigration lawyer, NDIS compliance adviser) before relying on any position.

New endpoint and dataset for Australian climate-related financial disclosures (AASB-S2). 26 obligations across 4 pillars with paragraph-level citations, per-Group applicability with phase-in dates, transitional reliefs, and modified-liability protected-statement windows.

• New endpoint — GET /v1/aasb-s2/obligations returns AASB-S2 disclosure obligations across the four pillars (governance, strategy, risk management, metrics & targets). Filter by group, category_code, and reporting_year. 1 credit per call.
• Per-Group applicability — every obligation carries an applicability_per_group dict keyed by group_1 / group_2 / group_3 with first-reporting-period dates and any reliefs that override the default applicability.
• Reliefs typed and dated — Scope 3 Year-1 exemption, measurement-method Year-1 relief, no-comparatives Year-1, modified-liability protected statements (1 Jan 2025 – 31 Dec 2027 window), and the Group 1 Year 1 all-forward-looking extension. Each relief carries a relief_expiry so consumers see exactly when each protection lapses.
• Paragraph-level citations — each obligation references the AASB S2 paragraph (e.g. ¶29(a)(i)(3), (vi) for Scope 3 emissions) and links back to the published standard.
• Calculator-ready annotation fields — four forward-compatible slots per obligation (measurement_categories, methodology_references, assurance_inputs_required, reporting_templates) positioning RegIntel as the regulatory authority layer underneath the sustainability calculation tooling market. Default empty until per-obligation seed passes land.
• MCP tool — get_aasb_s2_obligations exposed via the regintel-mcp package on PyPI for use in Claude Desktop and any MCP-compatible AI agent.
• Information only — RegIntel does NOT calculate emissions, does NOT judge assurance, and does NOT determine which AASB-S2 Group an entity falls into, nor whether the entity is in scope under Chapter 2M. Engagement requirements per AUASB ASSA 5000; assurance phase-in per ASSA 5010; Group classification per ASIC RG 280.
