AnrakLegal API reference

Indian legal data and live court records, through one key

Case law, statutes, citator, global law, web intelligence and official eCourts records as JSON. The same key drives the tools endpoint, the OpenAI-compatible Model API and the MCP connector for AI assistants.

Start here

One call to your first result

Every request is HTTPS against https://anrak.legal and returns JSON. Create a key in the console, then search.

bash

curl "https://anrak.legal/api/v1/search?q=anticipatory+bail+economic+offences" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ANRAK-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx"

What you get

Six product lines under /api/v1: case law, statutes, citator, global law, web intelligence and court records. Plus a tools endpoint, an OpenAI-compatible Model API and an MCP connector, all on the same key.

What is live and what is indexed

Case law, statutes, citator and global law read from AnrakLegal's own indexes. Court records read the official eCourts portals live, then cache for six hours. Web intelligence searches the live web.

Keys

Authentication and permissions

Send the key on every request. Keys are created in the console, start with ANRAK-, and are stored hashed; you see the full key once.

Preferred

Authorization: Bearer ANRAK-…

Also accepted

x-anrak-key: ANRAK-…

Also accepted

x-api-key: ANRAK-…

Permissions

Each key carries a set of permissions chosen when it is created. An endpoint whose permission the key lacks returns 403 with code: "insufficient_scope" and the permission it needs. Every endpoint below shows its scope.

Permission	Scope	Unlocks
Indian case law and court records	search	Search, documents, citator, court records, court-records tools
Indian statutes	statutes	Statute search and sections
Web and global law	web	Global law endpoints, web intelligence
Model API	model:invoke	Chat completions on the anrak-* models

Jurisdiction

Court records are served to accounts in the India jurisdiction. A key from a United States or Hong Kong account receives 403 with code: "JURISDICTION" on the court-records endpoints and tools; every other endpoint is unaffected.

Plans

Plans and limits

Data endpoints are metered per call against a Data plan. Requests are also rate limited per account.

Monthly quota	Data Starter	Data Pro
Legal Search calls	10,000	50,000
Full Judgment retrievals	5,000	25,000
Citator lookups	Not included	10,000
Web Intelligence searches	Not included	2,500
Global law and court records	Included	Included
Price	₹29,988 a year	₹1,19,988 a year

Rate limit

120 requests a minute per account across the API. Over that, 429 with a Retry-After header.

Free accounts

120 data requests in total to try the API, and 5 Model API requests a day. Paid plans lift both.

Beyond a quota

Calls past the monthly quota, and call kinds your plan excludes, bill your pay-as-you-go balance per call (search ₹10, judgment ₹20, citator ₹40, web ₹25). With no balance you get 402 with code: "data_quota_exhausted" or "feature_not_in_plan". Without any Data plan every call is pay-as-you-go. Add credit (minimum ₹5,000) on the console's Billing tab. See pay-as-you-go pricing.

Handling

Errors

Errors are JSON with an HTTP status you can branch on. Two envelopes exist: a short one on authentication and validation, and an OpenAI-style one on metering and the Model API.

401 · missing or invalid key

json

{ "error": "Missing or invalid AnrakLegal API key." }

403 · key lacks the permission

{ "error": "Supreme Court CNRs are not served by the eCourts portals …", "code": "UNSUPPORTED" }
{ "error": "Courts service did not answer within 170s", "code": "PORTAL_TIMEOUT" }

Retrying

Retry 429 after the Retry-After header and 5xx with exponential backoff. Do not retry 4xx; the request needs a change. Court-records timeouts mean the government portal is slow; a retry a minute later usually succeeds, and cached reads never time out.

Court records

Live records from the official eCourts portals of all 25 High Courts and every district court in India, read at the time of your request. Five ways in: a CNR, a case number, a party name, an advocate, or an FIR number with its police station. Every route ends at the same case record: parties, advocates, stage, next date, full hearing history, every order with a plain-language summary, and whether the case is on a day's cause list. Available to accounts in the India jurisdiction.

You have	Call	You give	You get
A CNR	GET /courts/cases/{cnr}	The 16-character CNR	The full record in one call. Fastest and most complete; use it whenever you have the CNR.
A case number	GET /courts/find	Court (High Court, or state + district), case type as spoken, number, year; optional party	The CNR(s) and records. Every complex in the district is searched; several cases can share a number, so a party shortlists them.
A party name	GET /courts/search	Court or state + district, party, registration year	Every case in that court's register for that party and year, with CNRs.
An advocate	GET /courts/search	Court or state + district, advocate name or bar_code	The advocate's whole book in that court, with CNRs.
An FIR	GET /courts/search	State + district, fir_number, police_station; optional fir_year	The criminal case(s) that arose from the FIR, with parties, stage and next date filled from the record. Leave the station out and the error lists the district's stations.
A hearing date	GET /courts/causelist	High Court, date; bench, case number, party or bar_code to filter	The day's board with item numbers, or an advocate's own list.

Where searches run

Every lookup is per court, because that is how the government portals work: there is no all-India index of names or FIRs. Give a High Court by name (delhi, DLHC, "Bombay High Court") or a district court by state and district (Punjab, Jalandhar). For a district, every court complex is searched (up to six) and the rows are merged; add complex to narrow to one. Station names, case types and complexes are matched against the portal's own lists, so say them the way a lawyer would.

Two portals, one contract

High Court CNRs read the High Court portal; all others read the district portal. Responses share one shape either way. Supreme Court CNRs, which begin with ESCR, are not on either portal and return 501.

Timings

A live case read is 5 to 20 seconds; a cached read is under a second. A case-number search across a district's complexes is 10 to 30 seconds. Parsing a large High Court's boards is about a minute, then instant for the day.

Honest by design

Nothing is inferred. If a case is not on the portal you get CASE_NOT_FOUND; if the court is missing you get COURT_REQUIRED; if the police station is unknown you get UNKNOWN_POLICE_STATION with the list; if boards are not published yet the cause list says so.

GET/api/v1/courts/cases/{cnr}scope search

The full case record by CNR: parties and advocates, acts, stage, court, next date, complete hearing history and the list of orders. Add order for the latest order's text and summary, and listing to check a day's cause list.

A first read is live from the portal and takes 5 to 20 seconds. Repeat reads are served from cache for six hours.

Parameter	Type	Description
`cnr`required	string	16-character CNR: four letters and twelve digits, for example PBJL030048482025.
`order`	latest \| YYYY-MM-DD	Also return the text excerpt and summary of the latest order, or of the order passed on a date.
`listing`	YYYY-MM-DD	Also check whether the case is on the cause list for that date.

GET/api/v1/courts/findscope search

Case number to CNR. Give the court the way a lawyer would, the case type as spoken, the number and the year. Every court complex in a district is searched and every match is returned with its parties.

A case number is unique only inside one courtroom's register, so the response can hold several candidates. When ambiguous is true, ask which party and use that CNR. Without a court the call returns 400 COURT_REQUIRED; it never guesses.

Parameter	Type	Description
`case_type`required	string	As spoken: NACT, 138 NI Act, Bail Application, W.P.(C). Matched against the court's own list; the response names what it resolved to.
`case_number`required	string	The number alone, without type or year.
`year`required	YYYY	Registration year.
`court`	string	High Court name, slug or CNR prefix: 'Delhi High Court', delhi, DLHC. Omit for district courts.
`state / district`	string	District court location by name, for example Punjab and Jalandhar.
`complex`	string	A specific court complex when the district has several. Otherwise all are searched.
`party`	string	Shortlist candidates whose petitioner or respondent matches.

GET/api/v1/courts/searchscope search

Search a court's live register by party name, by advocate, or (district courts) by FIR number and police station: a High Court, or a district court where every court complex in the district is searched and the rows merged. Returns every matching case with its CNR, parties and case number, read from the official portal at call time.

Search runs per court: the portals keep no all-India name index. Give court for a High Court, or state and district for a district court (add complex to narrow to one). A party search also needs the registration year, because that is how the portals file their registers; it defaults to the current year and the response says so. An advocate search returns the advocate's whole book for that court. An FIR search finds the criminal case(s) that arose from an FIR: give fir_number and police_station with state and district; the station is matched against each complex's own list, and if it is missing or unrecognised the error lists the stations under that district. The register listing carries only the case number, type, parties and CNR; status, dates and advocates on record come from the full record, so pass each CNR to /courts/cases/{cnr} for those.

Parameter	Type	Description
`court`	string	High Court name, slug or CNR prefix: 'Delhi High Court', delhi, DLHC, bombay-nagpur, allahabad-lucknow. Omit for district courts.
`state / district`	string	District court location by name, for example Punjab and Jalandhar. Every court complex in the district is searched (up to six).

`fir_number`	string	District courts only. FIR number, digits only. Needs state, district and police_station.
`police_station`	string	Police station where the FIR was registered, as spoken: 'Division No. 4', 'PS Rama Mandi'. Matched against the court's own list.
`fir_year`	YYYY	Year of the FIR. Optional; narrows the match.
`status`	pending \| disposed \| both	Default both.

GET/api/v1/courts/causelistscope search

A High Court's cause list for a date, parsed from the bench-wise board PDFs into rows with item numbers. Filter by bench, case number or party, or pass a bar registration number for the court's own list for an advocate.

Boards are ingested every morning and evening on court days. If a court and date are not ingested yet the response says so; pass live=1 to parse them now, which takes about a minute for a large court.

Parameter	Type	Description
`court`required	string	High Court name, slug or CNR prefix.
`date`	YYYY-MM-DD	Default today in IST.
`bench`	string	Judge or bench text, or a court number.
`case_number`	string	Find one case on the board, for example W.P.(C) 6294/2025.
`party`	string	Filter rows by a party name.
`bar_code`	string	Advocate bar registration number, for example D/1234/2010. Returns the court's own per-case list for that advocate.
`live`	1	Parse the boards now if they are not ingested yet.
`limit`	number	Rows to return, up to 300.

Responses are the same JSON as the REST endpoints, wrapped in the tool result envelope.

Models

Model API

Grounded Indian legal reasoning as a model. Point any OpenAI SDK at https://anrak.legal/api/v1 with your key and call anrak-conductor; answers carry retrieved authorities and pass a citation check before they stream. Requires the model:invoke permission.

bash

curl -X POST "https://anrak.legal/api/v1/chat/completions" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer ANRAK-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "model": "anrak-conductor",
    "messages": [{ "role": "user", "content": "Can a non-signatory invoke an arbitration agreement?" }],
    "stream": false
  }'

typescript

import OpenAI from "openai";

const client = new OpenAI({
  apiKey: process.env.ANRAK_API_KEY,
  baseURL: "https://anrak.legal/api/v1",
});

const models = await client.models.list();          // anrak-conductor, anrak-conductor-ensemble, anrak-conductor-deep …
const reply = await client.chat.completions.create({
  model: "anrak-conductor",
  messages: [{ role: "user", content: "Limitation for a Section 138 complaint?" }],
});

Choosing a model

anrak-conductor routes each question to the depth it needs. anrak-conductor-ensemble always convenes the full panel. anrak-conductor-deep runs the long research pipeline. GET /api/v1/models lists what your key may call.

AI assistants

MCP connector

Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor and any Model Context Protocol client can use AnrakLegal's tools directly: search, statutes, citator, global law, court records, and the paralegal suite for keys with matter permissions. The connector is hosted; there is nothing to install.

Claude.ai

Open Connectors and choose the Claude.ai tab.
Click Add to Claude. Claude opens with the connector pre-filled; approve the sign-in.
Ask Claude what AnrakLegal tools it has. It lists them with court_records among them.

Server URL, if you add it by hand: https://anrak.legal/mcp/anrak

ChatGPT, Claude Desktop, Cursor

Open Connectors and use Quick Setup to create a connector with the permissions you want.
Copy its connector URL into your client's MCP or custom-connector settings.
Restart the client and confirm the tools appear.

Documents in your matters are redacted of Indian personal data before any assistant sees them.

What a court-records conversation looks like

You: "What happened at the last hearing in NACT 1830/2025 at Jalandhar, and is it listed tomorrow?"
The assistant calls court_records.find_by_number with Punjab, Jalandhar, NACT, 1830, 2025 and gets the CNR.
It calls court_records.lookup_cnr and reads the latest order's text rather than guessing.
It calls court_records.case_listing for tomorrow and reports the serial number, courtroom and purpose, or says the case is not listed.
