## More

- [Human guide](https://www.firecrawl.dev/app/alexandria/courtlistener-com)
- [OpenAPI spec](https://alexandria.firecrawl.dev/agents/providers/courtlistener-com/openapi.json)

## Capabilities

- [Search opinions](https://alexandria.firecrawl.dev/agents/providers/courtlistener-com/opinions/search_opinions): Search published case law (opinions) from federal and state courts on CourtListener by full text, citation, case name, judge, docket number, court and filing date. Keyless: returns the newest 20 matching opinion clusters by filing date with cluster id, case name, court, date filed, a text snippet and the opinion page link; citations, cite counts and further pages need a CourtListener API token.
- [Courts](https://alexandria.firecrawl.dev/agents/providers/courtlistener-com/courts/courts): List the courts CourtListener indexes, with their ids for the court filter of the search functions. Filter by jurisdiction code (S = state supreme, SA = state appellate, ST = state trial, F = federal appellate, FD = federal district, FB = federal bankruptcy) and page through 20 courts at a time.
- [Docket entries](https://alexandria.firecrawl.dev/agents/providers/courtlistener-com/dockets/docket_entries): List the most recent docket entries of one federal PACER docket identified by its CourtListener docket_id (from search_dockets), oldest first by default. Keyless: each entry carries its entry number, filing date, full description, a free RECAP PDF link when CourtListener holds the document, or the PACER document id otherwise. Older entries need a CourtListener API token.
- [Search dockets](https://alexandria.firecrawl.dev/agents/providers/courtlistener-com/dockets/search_dockets): Search federal PACER dockets (RECAP archive) on CourtListener by party name, attorney, case name, docket number, judge, nature of suit, cause, court and filing dates, or look one docket up by docket_id. Keyless: returns the dockets behind the newest 20 matching RECAP documents, each with its docket_id (for docket_entries), case name and court; parties, judges, dates and further pages need a CourtListener API token.

## 2. Minimal request

Call `POST https://api.firecrawl.dev/v2/scrape` with `{ alexandria: { provider, capability, options } }`. For a batch, send `{ alexandria: [...] }` with up to 10 calls.

```json
{
  "provider": "courtlistener-com",
  "capability": "opinions/search_opinions",
  "options": {
    "court": [
      "cal",
      "calctapp"
    ],
    "query": "\"42 U.S.C. § 1983\""
  }
}
```

## 3. Add provider options

Use only the options needed for the task:

- `case_name` (string): case_name Example: `<case_name>`
- `citation` (string): Reporter citation, e.g. 410 U.S. 113. Example: `<citation>`
- `cited_gt` (number): Only clusters cited more than this many times. Example: `10`
- `court` (string[]): CourtListener court ids (not jurisdiction or state names) to restrict the search to, e.g. scotus, ca9, nysd, cal, calctapp, ny, nyappdiv, tex, texapp, fla. An unknown id such as texas, tx or ca matches nothing and returns zero results. List every court you need: ny does not include nyappdiv. Use the courts function to find ids (jurisdiction S / SA are state supreme and appellate courts). Example: `[]`
- `cursor` (string): Not served keyless: the feeds have no further pages, so any cursor fails with a non-retryable upstream_blocked error. Example: `<cursor>`
- `docket_number` (string): docket_number Example: `<docket_number>`
- `filed_after` (string): Earliest filing date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `<filed_after>`
- `filed_before` (string): Latest filing date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Use the same date as filed_after for a single day. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `<filed_before>`
- `include_unpublished` (boolean): Also return unpublished opinions (CourtListener returns published only by default). Example: `false`
- `judge` (string): judge Example: `<judge>`
- `order_by` (string): Keyless feeds always return the newest matches first. score desc (default) and dateFiled desc are accepted; other orders need a CourtListener API token and fail with a non-retryable upstream_blocked error. Example: `score desc`
- `query` (string): Full-text query. Supports CourtListener operators: quoted phrases, AND/OR/NOT, fielded clauses such as citation:("410 U.S. 113") or cites:(cluster_id). Quote a statute to find opinions citing it, e.g. "42 U.S.C. § 1983". Example: `<query>`

## API reference-derived contract

The following capability contract is generated from the same normalized Alexandria API reference exposed in the API spec.

### Search opinions

- Capability: `opinions/search_opinions`
- Description: Search published case law (opinions) from federal and state courts on CourtListener by full text, citation, case name, judge, docket number, court and filing date. Keyless: returns the newest 20 matching opinion clusters by filing date with cluster id, case name, court, date filed, a text snippet and the opinion page link; citations, cite counts and further pages need a CourtListener API token.
- Instructions: Search published case law (opinions) from federal and state courts on CourtListener by full text, citation, case name, judge, docket number, court and filing date. Keyless: returns the newest 20 matching opinion clusters by filing date with cluster id, case name, court, date filed, a text snippet and the opinion page link; citations, cite counts and further pages need a CourtListener API token.
- Cost: 5 credits per call
- Capability file: [Search opinions](https://alexandria.firecrawl.dev/agents/providers/courtlistener-com/opinions/search_opinions)

Accepted options:
- `case_name` (string): case_name Example: `<case_name>`
- `citation` (string): Reporter citation, e.g. 410 U.S. 113. Example: `<citation>`
- `cited_gt` (number): Only clusters cited more than this many times. Example: `10`
- `court` (string[]): CourtListener court ids (not jurisdiction or state names) to restrict the search to, e.g. scotus, ca9, nysd, cal, calctapp, ny, nyappdiv, tex, texapp, fla. An unknown id such as texas, tx or ca matches nothing and returns zero results. List every court you need: ny does not include nyappdiv. Use the courts function to find ids (jurisdiction S / SA are state supreme and appellate courts). Example: `[]`
- `cursor` (string): Not served keyless: the feeds have no further pages, so any cursor fails with a non-retryable upstream_blocked error. Example: `<cursor>`
- `docket_number` (string): docket_number Example: `<docket_number>`
- `filed_after` (string): Earliest filing date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `<filed_after>`
- `filed_before` (string): Latest filing date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Use the same date as filed_after for a single day. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `<filed_before>`
- `include_unpublished` (boolean): Also return unpublished opinions (CourtListener returns published only by default). Example: `false`
- `judge` (string): judge Example: `<judge>`
- `order_by` (string): Keyless feeds always return the newest matches first. score desc (default) and dateFiled desc are accepted; other orders need a CourtListener API token and fail with a non-retryable upstream_blocked error. Example: `score desc`
- `query` (string): Full-text query. Supports CourtListener operators: quoted phrases, AND/OR/NOT, fielded clauses such as citation:("410 U.S. 113") or cites:(cluster_id). Quote a statute to find opinions citing it, e.g. "42 U.S.C. § 1983". Example: `<query>`

See Chang v. United States, 250 F.3d 79, 86 (2d Cir. 2001) (in claims of ineffective assistance, affirming district court's decision to forego a full testimonial hearing where the court \"reasonably decided that the testimony of [the defendant] and his trial counsel would add little or nothing to the written submissions\"). Furthermore, Pierre-Louis has not made a substantial showing of a denial of a federal right, so no certificate of appealability shall issue. See, e.g., Hamilton v. Superintendent, 2017 WL 1944114, at *6 (S.D.N.Y. 2017) (declining to issue a Certificate of Appealability \"because Petitioner has failed to identify a claim that jurists ofreason would find debatable as to whether Petitioner was denied such a right) (citing Slack v. McDaniel, 529 U.S. 473,478 (2000)); Prousalis v. United States, 2018 WL 3471811, at *5 (DLC) (S.D.N.Y. 2018) (citing Hojjl.er v. Bezio, 726 F.3d 144, 154 (2d Cir. 2013); Tankleffv. Senkowski, 135 F.3d 235,241 (2d Cir. 1998); Rodriquez v. Scully, 905 F.2d 24, 24 (2d Cir. 1990)). The Court finds that any appeal by Pierre-Louis from its Order would not be taken in good faith, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(a)(3). Id. (citing Coppedge v. United States, 369 U.S. 438,445 (1962)).

### Search dockets

- Capability: `dockets/search_dockets`
- Description: Search federal PACER dockets (RECAP archive) on CourtListener by party name, attorney, case name, docket number, judge, nature of suit, cause, court and filing dates, or look one docket up by docket_id. Keyless: returns the dockets behind the newest 20 matching RECAP documents, each with its docket_id (for docket_entries), case name and court; parties, judges, dates and further pages need a CourtListener API token.
- Instructions: Search federal PACER dockets (RECAP archive) on CourtListener by party name, attorney, case name, docket number, judge, nature of suit, cause, court and filing dates, or look one docket up by docket_id. Keyless: returns the dockets behind the newest 20 matching RECAP documents, each with its docket_id (for docket_entries), case name and court; parties, judges, dates and further pages need a CourtListener API token.

- Capability file: [Search dockets](https://alexandria.firecrawl.dev/agents/providers/courtlistener-com/dockets/search_dockets)

Accepted options:
- `attorney_name` (string): attorney_name Example: `<attorney_name>`
- `case_name` (string): case_name Example: `<case_name>`
- `cause` (string): cause Example: `<cause>`
- `court` (string[]): CourtListener court ids (not jurisdiction or state names) to restrict the search to, e.g. scotus, ca9, nysd, cal, calctapp, ny, nyappdiv, tex, texapp, fla. An unknown id such as texas, tx or ca matches nothing and returns zero results. List every court you need: ny does not include nyappdiv. Use the courts function to find ids (jurisdiction S / SA are state supreme and appellate courts). Example: `[]`
- `cursor` (string): Not served keyless: the feeds have no further pages, so any cursor fails with a non-retryable upstream_blocked error. Example: `<cursor>`
- `docket_id` (number): CourtListener docket id for a single-docket lookup. Example: `10`
- `docket_number` (string): PACER docket number, e.g. 1:20-cv-03010. Combine with court for an exact match. Example: `<docket_number>`

- `filed_before` (string): Latest filing date, inclusive (YYYY-MM-DD). Use the same date as filed_after for a single day. Pattern: ^[0-9]{4}-[0-9]{2}-[0-9]{2}$. Example: `<filed_before>`
- `judge` (string): Assigned judge name. Example: `<judge>`
- `nature_of_suit` (string): nature_of_suit Example: `<nature_of_suit>`
- `order_by` (string): Keyless feeds always return the newest matches first. score desc (default) and dateFiled desc are accepted; other orders need a CourtListener API token and fail with a non-retryable upstream_blocked error. Example: `score desc`
- `party_name` (string): Party name. CourtListener stems and tokenizes it, so Bakers also matches Baker; set party_name_exact for an exact phrase. Example: `<party_name>`
- `party_name_exact` (boolean): Match party_name as an exact quoted phrase without stemming, so Bakers no longer matches Baker or Bake. Requires party_name. Example: `false`
- `query` (string): Full-text query over docket metadata; supports fielded clauses such as party:(Google) or docketNumber:"1:20-cv-03010". Example: `<query>`
