I'm a public user interested in tracking new investigation documents on EDIS without needing to log in. What are the primary methods available for me to receive updates or access document information? Specifically, explain how I can use RSS feeds to get notifications for a particular 'Investigation Type', and describe any other programmatic ways (like an API) to access data, including where I might find more details about such methods.
Navigate to 'https://www.usitc.gov/'. Click on the 'Applications' button (ID 80). Click on the 'Electronic Document Information System (EDIS)' link (ID 87). Click on the 'RSS Feed' link (ID 185) under the 'Tools' section to understand its functionality for public updates. Go back to the EDIS homepage. Click on the 'Help Guides & Documentation' link (ID 174) under the 'Support' section. On the 'Help Guides & Documentation' page, identify any guides or documents related to data services or APIs. Synthesize all gathered information to explain the primary methods for a non-logged-in public user to receive updates or access document information, including how RSS feeds can be customized by 'Investigation Type' and the nature of any programmatic access like an API, specifying where more details about the API can be found.
The agent successfully navigates to the EDIS website. The agent correctly identifies RSS Feeds as a primary method for non-logged-in public users to receive updates on newly arriving documents. The agent explains that RSS feeds can be customized by 'Investigation Type' (and optionally 'Document Type'). The agent identifies the 'EDIS Data Web Service Guide [PDF]' (or similar API documentation) on the 'Help Guides & Documentation' page as indicating a programmatic method (API) for data access. The agent describes the API as a method for programmatic data retrieval for public users. The agent clearly states that Login.gov is for authenticated users and not for general public access to documents or updates.
