Working with the API
Best Practices
Get better results and build resilient integrations.
- Scope searches with corpusType and, for states, state.
- Prefer resolve for citations and search for topics.
- Use divisions to enumerate; do not page search.
- Cache stable text, and revalidate with asOf or changedSince.
- Back off on 429 using Retry-After.
