Easy goverment data access for citizens, optimized for AI
Access to over 250k datasets of 30+ US and foreign government agencies with one unified API. Get structured JSON response for AI agent ingestion. Each response carries a structured citation (source URL, retrieval timestamp, SHA-256 hash). Additional tools like Scrape, Watch, and Brief to get information related to data and keep track on updates or changes.
Hey PH 👋 I'm Paul
I've spent the last year watching AI agents hallucinate government
numbers. Ask Claude or GPT "what were Apple's last four 10-Q
filings?" and you'll get something plausible from training data —
stale, half-right, no citations. The moment it matters — an
investment memo, a compliance check, a research report — is the
moment the answer breaks.
The fix isn't a smarter model. It's plumbing. Every serious agent
needs the same primary sources — SEC EDGAR, FDA recalls, Federal
Register, Congress.gov, clinical trials, BLS, FRED, NOAA, USGS,
Census. Each one has its own auth, rate limits, response shape.
Wiring up all 30+ agencies is weeks of glue code, and even after
you do, your agent can't actually cite what it read.
Katzilla is that plumbing. One API key, 287+ tool-use actions, 32
agent-ready categories, 250,195 validated Data.gov datasets — and
every response comes back with a structured citation (source URL,
retrieval timestamp, SHA-256 data hash). Your agent stops guessing
and starts saying "I got this from sec.gov 3 minutes ago."
What ships today:
• Data — every US gov API, 2,500 req/mo free, no card
• Scrape — when the data's behind HTML (1K/mo free)
• Watch — subscribe to patterns, get webhooks when records fire
• Ask — NL queries over the corpus, citations on every answer
• Brief — editorial digests written from primary sources
Works in Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor via MCP. TypeScript + Python
SDKs. OpenAPI 3.1 for everything else.
I'd love to hear:
1. Which gov source you'd plug in first
2. An agent workflow that breaks today because of data reach
3. Anything the docs miss
