-H "Authorization: Bearer lb_key_..."
Resolution accepts Bluebook-style forms and the forms a state's own courts print. If several forms exist for one statute, the state's own form is the safest to send.
| Example forms | Resolves to |
|---|---|
| Ga. Code Ann. § 51-1-6 | The same section as below |
| O.C.G.A. § 51-1-6 | Georgia, title 51, section 1-6 |
| Wash. Rev. Code § 59.18.060 / RCW 59.18.060 | Washington residential landlord-tenant section |
Ambiguous or incomplete citations are refused rather than guessed.
