Optional. A retry with the same key returns the stored result.
255Optional. The most this request may be priced at, in micro-USD (a whole number above 0). It replaces the capability's own price ceiling for this request, lower or higher. Sources that could cost more are left out; when none is left the answer is 400 with the lowest limit that would work.
^[1-9]\d{0,14}$Body
Natural-language or keyword query (2-500 characters). A recognized citation such as '42 U.S.C. § 1983' resolves to that section at rank 1.
Keep only sections carrying these publisher statuses, e.g. 'repealed'. Contradicts excludeRepealed when it names a dead status (upstream 422).
1 - 512Federal Register agency slug, e.g. 'environmental-protection-agency'. Applies to FEDERAL_REGISTER and EXECUTIVE_ACTION only.
1 - 512Only sections observed to change on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD) — the date the change was observed, not its effective date. Narrow with corpusType and state; a window matching too many sections an.
1 - 512Chapter within a title or code, e.g. '21'. Must be paired with titleNumber or code, or upstream answers 422.
1 - 512State statutory code identifier, e.g. 'tx_pe' (Texas Penal Code) — the identifier /us/statutes/divisions returns for corpusType=STATE. The only way to scope below a whole jurisdiction.
1 - 20000Which body of law: statutes, regulations, court rules and so on, as the coverage list names them.
1 - 512Federal Register document stage: a final rule, a proposed rule, or a Presidential Document.
final, proposed, presidential Characters of matching text in each result's excerpt (100-4000, default 500). The excerpt can begin mid-section; quote from the full text instead.
0 <= x <= 1000000Drop sections whose status is affirmatively dead (repealed, renumbered, superseded, ...). A section with no recorded status is kept; read goodLawStatus on each result.
How many to return, 1 to 50. Default 10.
x >= 1'any' (default) is hybrid semantic + keyword ranking; 'all' requires every query term; 'phrase' requires the exact phrase.
any, all, phrase Part within a title or code, e.g. '240' (17 C.F.R. Part 240). Must be paired with titleNumber or code, or upstream answers 422.
1 - 512Only Federal Register documents published on or after this date.
1 - 512Only Federal Register documents published on or before this date.
1 - 512Named source within a corpus, e.g. 'frcp' (FEDERAL_RULES), 'irs_rev_rul' (AGENCY_GUIDANCE), 'far' (CFR). Every result carries its own source, so a hit's value can be passed straight back.
1 - 512Two-letter US state code; leave out for federal law.
1 - 512USC or CFR title number, e.g. 17 (SEC) or 42 (civil rights). State titles are not numeric — use code.
0 <= x <= 1000000Only sections dated in or after this year (credited amendment year, else effective year, else publication year). Sections carrying none are excluded once a bound is set.
0 <= x <= 1000000Only sections dated in or before this year. A currency filter, not point-in-time retrieval.
0 <= x <= 1000000
