Point-in-time law

Retrieve law as it read on a past date, with provenance.

curl -G https://api.lexbharat.example/api/v1/us/statutes/section/USC_T29_C8_S207/body?asOf=2019-06-01 \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer lb_key_..."

Pass asOf=YYYY-MM-DD to the body endpoint. The response's source field says whether the text is live, a published edition, or a reconstruction.

Reconstructed text is only as complete as the amendments that were tracked. Treat it as strong evidence, not proof.
