Frequently Asked Questions

What court data does the Rama Judicial lookup cover?
It covers court processes registered in Colombia's Consulta de Procesos Nacional Unificada, across judicial offices nationwide, including civil, labor, criminal, administrative, and constitutional matters. Each process exposes its court, parties, filing and last-action dates, and its full movement history.

Can I search by company name or only by radicado number?
Both. Enter one or more company names or person names to find every process where that party appears, or enter exact 23-digit radicado numbers to pull specific processes directly. You can mix names and radicados in a single run.

Why does a common company name return an error instead of results?
The source rejects any name search that matches more than 1000 processes and asks for a more specific query. For very large companies, use the full razón social and add a court code (for example 11001 for Bogotá) to narrow the search to one city.

What is the difference between the basic and full-detail output?
The basic run returns the radicado, court, department, parties, and key dates straight from the search. Turn on Include Process Details and the scraper also pulls each process type, class, subclass, presiding judge, location, and the full chronological list of actuaciones (movements).

Is this data public?
Yes. The scraper reads only what the Rama Judicial publishes openly on its public process lookup. Processes flagged as reserved are returned with an isPrivate marker and without protected content.
