get_law_as_atThe same, but as the law stood on any past date.

get_amendment_statusIn force or repealed, what the latest compilation incorporates, whether commenced amendments are still unincorporated, and what has amended it.
compare_versionsWhat changed between two dates: sections added, removed, reworded — or a line diff of one section.
search_full_textRelevance-ranked search over the body text of every title on the register.
check_frl_healthPing the register API so failures elsewhere can be attributed.
