}About the egazette.nic.in API
The eGazette API provides structured access to official Indian government gazette publications through 3 endpoints. Use get_recent_gazettes to retrieve the latest Extraordinary and Weekly gazette entries directly from the India eGazette portal homepage, or use get_gazettes_by_category to filter results by category such as Bills & Acts, Land Acquisition, or Election notices — each entry including ministry, department, subject, issue date, gazette ID, and file size.
What the API Covers
The eGazette API surfaces structured data from the official India eGazette portal (egazette.nic.in), which publishes notifications, acts, ordinances, and orders issued by the Government of India. The three endpoints cover the homepage listing, category-filtered uploads, and the full gazette directory.
Endpoint Details
get_recent_gazettes takes no inputs and returns two arrays: extraordinary (up to 4 entries) and weekly (up to 3 entries), each containing ministry, subject, publish_date, gazette_id, and file_size. This is the quickest way to poll for newly published central government notifications.
get_gazettes_by_category accepts a required category_id parameter. Known category IDs include 1 (Bills & Acts), 2 (Election & Bye-Election), 3 (Land Acquisition), and 4 (Delhi). Each returned item includes ministry___organization, department, office, subject, category, part_and_section, issue_date, publish_date, gazette_id, and file_size — making it suitable for tracking notifications within a specific domain.
get_gazette_directory accepts optional filters for year (e.g., 2026), category (e.g., Extra Ordinary or Weekly), and part_section. This endpoint is suited for historical lookups or bulk discovery of gazette documents within a defined time range and classification.
- Monitor newly published central government acts and ordinances using get_recent_gazettes for daily compliance checks
- Track land acquisition notifications for specific regions by querying category_id 3 in get_gazettes_by_category
- Build an election notification tracker using category_id 2 to surface Bye-Election and Election gazette entries
- Archive gazette publications by year and category using get_gazette_directory with year and category filters
- Extract ministry-level publishing frequency by aggregating ministry field across recent gazette entries
- Feed legal research tools with issue_date, gazette_id, and subject fields from category-filtered gazette listings
- Alert systems for new Bills & Acts (category_id 1) by polling get_gazettes_by_category on a schedule

What distinguishes extraordinary gazettes from weekly gazettes in the get_recent_gazettes response?+
extraordinary and weekly. Extraordinary gazettes are typically time-sensitive government notifications published outside the regular schedule, while weekly gazettes follow a fixed publication cycle. Both arrays share the same field structure: ministry, subject, publish_date, gazette_id, and file_size. The homepage listing caps results at 4 extraordinary and 3 weekly entries.
