Get UK legislation details API

Retrieve UK legislation details, publication dates, commencement information, and amendment metadata from legislation.gov.uk XML data.

The Get UK legislation details operation is part of the Regulatory Intelligence API on BRAINIAC.software. Retrieve UK legislation details, publication dates, commencement information, and amendment metadata from legislation.gov.uk XML data. It is exposed as POST /api/v1/regulatory-intelligence/uk/details and priced at $0.05 USDC on Base. Payment uses the x402 exact scheme: an unpaid call returns HTTP 402 with payment requirements; after paying the exact USDC amount, retry the same request with a payment-signature header and Idempotency-Key. No account and no API key are required. Data sources for this product: legislation.gov.uk federalregister.gov Limitations: UK keyword search is limited because legislation.gov.uk does not provide a public JSON search API. Results are source records for review, not legal advice. Outputs are compliance prechecks, drafts, or data lookups for human review. They are not official determinations, legal advice, identity confirmation, or certified filings. Related operations in this group include Search UK legislation, Search US Federal Register, Get US Federal Register document details, Get US Federal Register agencies.
