Fetch a case law decision

The JuriAPI class lets you fetch decisions by identifier or by keywords.

Instantiate JuriAPI

from pylegifrance.fonds.juri import JuriAPI

juri = JuriAPI(client)

Fetch a decision

# By identifier
decision = juri.fetch("JURITEXT000037999394")

# By legacy identifier
decision = juri.fetch_with_ancien_id("07-87362")

Access the content

decision.text          # full text
decision.text_html     # formatted HTML
decision.title
decision.long_title
decision.formation
decision.numero
decision.jurisdiction
decision.solution
decision.date

Search without an identifier

from pylegifrance.fonds.juri import SearchRequest
from pylegifrance.models.juri.constants import JuridictionJudiciaire

# Simple
results = juri.search("responsabilité civile")

# Advanced
request = SearchRequest(
    search="contrat",
    juridiction_judiciaire=[JuridictionJudiciaire.cour_de_cassation.value],
    page_size=5,
)
results = juri.search(request)

if results:
    first = results[0]
    content = first.text

Versions of a decision

dated = decision.at("2022-01-01")
latest = decision.latest()
all_versions = decision.versions()

Each returns a JuriDecision (or a list).
