How it works

Direct calls to CourtListener's official public REST API (courtlistener.com/api/rest/v4/search/). Works anonymously for casual use; CourtListener's own rate limits apply, higher volume needs your own free API token. No proxy, no scraping.

Pricing note

Billed per search, not per result returned — a broad search that returns 200 results costs the same as one that returns 2.
