The CaliforniaCourtIntel API provides programmatic access to judge profiles, court directory data, county information, and more. API access is available on Firm and Enterprise plans.
To generate your first API key, navigate to Settings, then API Keys and click Generate New Key. Give the key a descriptive name so you can identify it later. The key will be shown once in full, so copy it immediately and store it securely. CaliforniaCourtIntel does not store a copy of the full key and cannot retrieve it if it is lost.
API keys inherit your plan's rate limits. Firm plans include 1,000 API requests per minute. Enterprise plans have a higher default limit and can request a custom allocation by contacting your account manager.
Basic usage: send a GET request to api.californiacourtintel.com/v1/judges with an Authorization header containing your API key as a Bearer token. Full documentation is available at californiacourtintel.com/api-docs.
To rotate an API key, generate a new key and then revoke the old one by clicking the trash icon next to it. Revocation is immediate. Never embed API keys in client-side JavaScript or commit them to source control.
