SearchAPI.io - Google Scholar Case Law API

SearchAPI.io tool searchapi-io-google-scholar-case-law on looot: input fields, $0.004 per call, output shape, and code to run it with curl, JavaScript or Python.

The Google Scholar Case Law API returns the full opinion of a US federal or state court case indexed by Google Scholar, identified by its caselaw_id. A single response includes the case header (title, full party name, court, first/last page), every reporter citation, the docket numbers, every cited case grouped by case ID with each textual appearance preserved, every footnote split apart from the body, and the cleaned full text of the opinion. Cross-linking: The caselaw_id value can be obtained from the organic_results.caselaw_id field returned by the Google Scholar API when searching in case-law mode (set the as_sdt parameter), or from the referenced_cases.caselaw_id field of any other Google Scholar Case Law response, chaining cases together for citation-graph traversal.

Inputs

Output

The run’s result holds the provider’s answer. Signed in, looot inspect searchapi-io-google-scholar-case-law prints its fields.

Run it

Every call needs your API token in LOOOT_TOKEN; Sign in shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With wait: 30 the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll GET /v1/runs/<runId>.

Example input with placeholder values:

curl -X POST "https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LOOOT_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \
  -d '{"endpointId":"searchapi-io-google-scholar-case-law","input":{"caselaw_id":"<caselaw_id>","engine":"google_scholar_case_law"},"wait":30}'

const response = await fetch("https://api.looot.ai/v1/runs", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.LOOOT_TOKEN}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
    "Idempotency-Key": crypto.randomUUID(),
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    endpointId: "searchapi-io-google-scholar-case-law",
    input: {
      caselaw_id: "<caselaw_id>",
      engine: "google_scholar_case_law",
    },
    wait: 30,
  }),
});
const run = await response.json();
console.log(run.status, run.result);
