Data Sources

• EUR-Lex (Cellar SPARQL) — Legislative acts, delegated acts, implementing acts
• ESMA (RSS) — Guidelines, consultations, Q&As
• EBA (RSS) — Technical standards, guidelines, press releases

All sources are public. No API keys required.

LLM Classification (Optional)

For higher classification accuracy, provide an LLM API key.

CLI — set the environment variable:

export REGWATCH_LLM_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."  # Claude
export REGWATCH_LLM_API_KEY="sk-..."      # OpenAI

regwatch update  # now uses LLM fallback for ambiguous items

Python API:

rw = RegWatch(llm_api_key="sk-ant-...")  # Claude
rw = RegWatch(llm_api_key="sk-...")      # OpenAI

Without an LLM key, classification uses deterministic keyword matching (~80% accuracy).
