- The text of one compilation: the current one. Earlier compilations' text is not held;
as_atoutside the held compilation returnsVERSION_NOT_HELD. - A verification label on each provision, saying whether its characters were matched against the authorised PDF. Not every provision is verified; each says which it is. See
get_provision_text. - Amendment history for the compilations held, and the compilation's own printed history where its endnotes are held as structured data.
- Text of titles no longer in force is never served. Their name, status, dates and Federal Register link are.
