Getting Started with the API

Our REST API allows you to view, create or edit content available on this site. Most read requests (e.g. view cases) do not need to be authenticated, buy any action that would require a user to be logged in (such as creating annotations) requires an API key. To make authenticated requests, you'll need to set up an account and obtain your API key. We have different endpoints for cases, laws, courts and more. Several API Clients are available in Python, PHP, Java and Javascript.

The full documentation is a great way to explore all the features of the API. You might also want to check out our example apps.
