US Court Cases & Legal Filings Scraper ⚖️

Search US court cases and legal opinions and get clean, normalized records — powered by CourtListener (the Free Law Project's open legal database). Track new litigation, monitor a company or law firm, or build a legal dataset, without touching PACER.

Built for legal-tech, litigation finance, compliance teams, journalists, and investors who need structured court data on a schedule.

✅ What you get

One normalized record per case or opinion:

Field	Description
`type`	`docket` (court case) or `opinion` (case law)
`caseName`	Case caption
`court` / `courtId`	Court name and CourtListener court id
`docketNumber`	Docket number
`dateFiled` / `dateTerminated` / `dateArgued`	Key dates
`judge`	Assigned / authoring judge
`cause`	Legal cause of action (dockets)
`natureOfSuit`	Nature of suit
`jurisdictionType`	Jurisdiction type (dockets)
`citation`	Reporter citation(s) (opinions)
`status`	Precedential status (opinions)
`attorneys` / `firm`	Counsel and law firm (where available)
`url`	Link to the case/opinion on CourtListener

🔍 Two modes

Court cases (RECAP dockets) — federal cases with parties, judges, firms, and causes. Best for litigation monitoring and lead-gen.
Legal opinions (case law) — published opinions with citations and precedential status. Best for legal research datasets.

🔎 Filters

Keyword — full-text query (company name, "data breach", "patent infringement")
Court — restrict to one court (scotus, cand, nysd, dcd, …)
Filed since / until — date window for weekly monitoring
Order by — newest, oldest, most relevant, or most cited

💡 Example: new data-breach lawsuits this month

{
  "searchType": "dockets",
  "keyword": "\"data breach\"",
  "filedSince": "2026-06-01",
  "orderBy": "dateFiled desc"
}

Returns every newly-filed federal case mentioning "data breach", with the court, judge, docket number, and a link.

🔄 Recurring use

Schedule the Actor daily or weekly with filedSince set to your last run date for a continuous feed of new filings — automated litigation monitoring.

⚖️ Data source

Data comes from CourtListener by the non-profit Free Law Project. The API is public; anonymous use works but is rate-limited. For large runs, add a free CourtListener API token in the input for higher limits.
