With `query`, results are ranked by relevance from a bounded window of the best 200 word matches and the best 200 meaning matches, so `exhaustive` is false and other documents can match. Without `query`, every matching document is listed in a fixed `sort` order; follow `nextCursor` to the end. Different filters combine with AND; repeated values of one filter combine with OR. No date bounds apply unless you send them. To poll for new documents, use `firstSeenFrom` with sort=-firstSeenAt, overlap each poll and drop IDs you have seen. Read one document with getRegulatoryDocument and its text with getRegulatoryDocumentText. Charges: with `query`, a nonempty page costs $0.02 plus $0.003 per returned document; without `query`, $0.003 per returned document. Empty pages and failed requests are free. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi.json get /insurance/regulatory-documents openapi: 3.0.3 info: title: Effective API version: 2.0.0 description: The public Effective REST API.
