Brazil CNPJ Legal Processes Detail - Individual Lawsuits

⚖️ CNPJ Legal Processes Detail — Individual Lawsuits

Scraper and API for the individual lawsuit records of Brazilian companies by CNPJ (Tax ID): case number, court, status, value and parties, over the last 5 years as defendant/respondent. Paginated, 25 lawsuits per page. Built for due diligence, supplier onboarding and compliance.

Only need the aggregated totals (by type, court, status, state)? Use CNPJ Legal Processes Distribution instead — it's cheaper for that use case and doesn't require pagination.

partes masks personal data: companies (CNPJ) keep name and document (public data); individuals have the name omitted and CPF masked.

How pagination works

The source only supports sequential pagination — there's no "jump to page 5" without going through pages 1–4 first. Each page returns paginacao.cursorProximaPagina: paste that exact value into the cursor input field to fetch the next page. It is an opaque token, not a page number you type in.

{ "cnpjs": ["02.342.260/0001-70"], "cursor": "eyJwYWdpbmEiOjIsInRva2VuIjoiLi4uIn0" }

cursor requires exactly 1 CNPJ (a cursor belongs to one company's pagination chain). Without cursor, you can query up to 100 CNPJs at once — each returns its first page.

Try it: input and API

{ "cnpjs": ["33.000.167/0001-01"] }

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/brasildados~cnpj-lawsuits-detail/run-sync-get-dataset-items?format=json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"cnpjs":["33.000.167/0001-01"]}'

In the Console, the Output tab opens on an overview. Switch to Todos os campos for the full record. Downloads and the API always return every field.

FAQ

Can I jump straight to page 5?

No — the source only chains pages sequentially. Start without cursor (page 1), then feed each response's cursorProximaPagina back in to advance one page at a time.

Which party role is included?

Lawsuits where the company appears as defendant/respondent, over the last 5 years.

What if processos is empty but erro is null?

The CNPJ was queried successfully and has no lawsuits matching the filter in this window.

Is it legal to use this data?

Use only with legitimate business purpose and applicable compliance requirements (LGPD/GDPR where personal data appears).

🇧🇷 Resumo em português

Processos Judiciais Individuais por CNPJ é um scraper e API que retorna os processos individuais de empresas brasileiras (número, tribunal, situação, valor, partes) nos últimos 5 anos como réu/reclamado, com paginação sequencial (25 processos por página — não dá pra pular pra uma página arbitrária, só avançar uma de cada vez usando o cursor devolvido). Até 100 CNPJs na primeira página; exatamente 1 ao usar cursor. CNPJ que a fonte não consegue responder fica registrado no log e não entra no resultado. Cobrança de US$ 0,35 por página entregue. Só precisa dos totais agregados? Use o CNPJ Legal Processes Distribution, mais barato pra esse caso.
