Download Public Comments and Attachments from Regulations.gov

Categories Project, Tool

Do you find public comments useful but hate the process of manually downloading/organizing them? If so, I’ve got just the python script for you!

I wrote a script that automatically downloads public comments (and attachments) that were submitted in response to U.S. government Requests for Information (RFIs). The script downloads all comments and attachments for any docket on the U.S. government’s regulations.gov website. This is a particularly useful tool for anyone who wants to analyze RFIs that receive hundreds or thousands of comments (and attachments).
