The EU act to look up: a short name ("GDPR", "AI Act", "DSA", "NIS2", "DORA", "MiCA", "CSRD"...), a citation ("Regulation (EU) 2024/1689", "Directive 95/46/EC", "Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006"), a bare number ("2016/679"), a CELEX number ("32016R0679") or an ELI URI ("http://data.europa.eu/eli/reg/2016/679/oj"). "AI Act Article 50" also works. Leave empty only when using ojSince (new Official Journal acts). An unreadable citation fails in seconds, with examples, at no charge.
Article number, optionally with a paragraph: "5", "6(1)", "4a"; several separated by commas ("5, 6(1)", up to 10). One row per article. Empty = one row for the whole act with its table of contents and recital count (no full text unless include has "text").
EU language code of the text and titles: BG, CS, DA, DE, EL, EN, ES, ET, FI, FR, GA, HR, HU, IT, LT, LV, MT, NL, PL, PT, RO, SK, SL, SV. Default EN. If the text is missing in that language, English is returned with a warning. E.g. "DE".
YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. "2025-01-01": return the consolidated version that applied on that date. Empty = today (the newest consolidated version in force now). Acts without consolidated versions return the Official Journal text.
Any of "metadata" (always on), "amendments" (amended_by, corrected_by, repealed_by, amends, repeals), "citing" (acts and judgments that cite this act, newest first) and "text" (the whole act as plain text, cut at maxTextChars). Default ["metadata", "amendments"]. The price is the same.
[ "metadata", "amendments"]Cap on article_text and text, in characters, e.g. 30000 (default). Longer text is cut and flagged (article_text_truncated / text_truncated) with a warning.
With include "citing": how many citing acts to list, newest first, e.g. 20 (default). citing_acts_total always gives the full count.
Switches to Official Journal mode: list acts published in the OJ L series from this date (YYYY-MM-DD, e.g. "2026-11-03") until today, newest first, at most 31 days back. Leave query empty when you use this. Empty = normal lookup.
OJ mode only: comma-separated words or phrases; an act is kept when its title (in the chosen language) contains any of them, case-insensitive, e.g. "artificial intelligence, data". Empty = all acts.
