Legal updates
Every country publishes its laws differently. Your code shouldn't care.
Governments publish laws in PDFs. Regulators issue updates with no version tracking. Amendments are buried in gazettes. The same statute exists in six languages across three portals with no consistent identifier.
For a researcher, that's frustrating. For a software product, it's fatal. Lawstronaut fixes it before it reaches your code.
Machine-readable legal data.
01
Full text, structured
Complete legislation, regulations, case law, and guidance — normalized into one schema across every jurisdiction. Actual data your code can use without parsing.
02
Rich metadata filtering
Filter by jurisdiction, portal, issuing authority, document type, topic, language, status, and date. Get exactly the slice of law your product needs.
03
Article-level versioning
Every change tracked at the article level, not the document level. Know exactly what changed, when, and in which provision.
04
Official primary sources
Ingested directly from government portals, regulators, ministries, and courts — not scraped from aggregators. Provenance on every record.
05
Case law, linked to statute
Court decisions normalized and cross-referenced to the legislation they interpret — so your product gets the full legal context in one call.
06
Built for production
OAuth 2.0, predictable JSON, versioned content, full-text and markdown retrieval.
