Data status
“Updated daily” is a claim. This page is where you check it. It reports when the pipeline last confirmed a successful poll, and what each source has actually produced — two different facts that we never let stand in for each other.
Latest confirmed core-source poll Nov 14, 2026 — 2h ago
12/12 sources reporting inside their freshness window
Every core adapter has confirmed a successful poll inside its own window (30 hours). This aggregate signal does not establish today’s scheduled-run completion, complete publisher coverage or current per-substance eligibility verification.
How quickly changes reach this feed
Measured, not estimated — computed from the 76 items published here in the last 30 days. This is the end-to-end gap: from the date a source puts on an item, to that item being live on this page.

What this number is not. It is not our processing time. Part of the gap belongs to the source: the FDA routinely dates an inspection citation weeks before it appears in the public database, and we cannot separate their delay from ours. We publish the whole gap rather than the flattering half of it. Sources are polled daily, and everything that can reach your inbox is human-reviewed before it appears — so this is not a live wire, and we no longer describe it as one. (Two capped Tier-C exhaust feeds publish to the record automatically and can never email you; see methodology.)
These are the same figures the API returns in every response, computed the same way from the same module — an API consumer sees no banner, so the caveat has to travel inside the payload or it does not travel at all.
How current the cited rules are
Every rule we publish carries the date we last read it against its statute, regulation or board source. We re-read on a 180-day cycle and show the oldest one here, not just the average — the oldest is the one that would embarrass us.

Nothing is overdue right now. When something is, this box will say so and name the count rather than quietly aging — a rule past its date still gets shown with its citation, because what expires is our assurance about it, not the citation itself.
What we screened, last 7 days
Scanning a source and judging what it published are different things, and for three weeks in September they came apart here without either number above changing. This is the third one: how many items each group of feeds actually evaluated. A group that evaluated nothing cannot tell you the period was quiet, and we say so rather than leaving you to infer it from a date.
| Feed group | Items evaluated | Status |
|---|---|---|
| State legislatures | 1,197,028 | screening |
| State boards and registers | 87 | screening |
| FDA | 11,574 | screening |
| Federal Register | 199 | screening |
| FTC | 215 | screening |
Every feed group reported work between 2026-11-07 and 2026-11-14.
What each source has produced
Counts are published items on record, all-time, with the material share in parentheses (“material” = a rule change worth a practice’s attention — see methodology). Two dates, kept apart: Most recent item is the source’s own date on its newest item, and Last added is when we last put one on the record. They differ because sources post late — the FDA routinely dates a warning letter weeks before it appears. A current scan records a successful poll; it does not establish regulatory silence or that every relevant change has been published.
Share of source sets what we published against everything the source itself put out in Oct 2026, counted by asking the source. Most of it concerns drug manufacturers, food importers and device makers with nothing to do with a med spa. The gap is our relevance filter and human review, and this column is there so you can see it rather than take it on trust. Sources post late, so a recent month keeps filling in. “—” means the source offers no count we can ask for.

Primary-source monitoring
A second tier polls 43 primary sources every 2 hours and stages what they publish. These feed the review queue rather than the feed directly, so a source here having published nothing is not a gap in anything you were promised — see data sources.

What “measuring” means. This tier does not judge a source until it has watched it long enough to know its normal rhythm — a state board that posts monthly and one that posts daily cannot share a single staleness rule. Until that window closes, the honest answer is that we are still measuring, and that is what it says. It is not a synonym for healthy, and it is not a fault. The date beside each source is the day we first fetched that feed and confirmed it works, not the last time we polled it — the poll column is the live one.
What “behind” means — and what it doesn’t. It means ourpoll of that feed is outside its window — not that the source itself is down. A publisher can be perfectly healthy while a key of ours expires. We publish which feed rather than only a count, because whether it matters depends entirely on which one: our legislative feed going quiet affects every state claim on this site, while a border-refusal feed going quiet affects nothing you would act on. We don’t publish failure counts or error messages — those are operational noise that invites misreading and change nobody’s decision.
Nothing here is estimated.Every number comes from the same records the public feed reads. Where we have no dated item, this page shows “—”, never an approximation.
The full list of sources, with the exact endpoints we read, is on data sources.
