Can we see any topics or themes related to CFR sections?

Hi Team,

Could you please let us know if there is any way we can obtain topic/themes related to CFR section?

Thanks,

@manimittal15 take a look at information on available metadata on our CFR help page

I would recommend using the mods at the package level, which will let you see the subjectGroup values for each granule within that particular volume. e.g. for:

https://api.govinfo.gov/packages/CFR-2019-title26-vol14/mods

There is an subjectGroup element within granule extensions.

Adding a subjectGroup element to the CFR granule json would be a possible enhancement.
