Changelog

​

Added

• West Virginia state courts — 57 courts now live: 55 county circuit courts plus the Intermediate Court of Appeals of West Virginia and the Supreme Court of Appeals of West Virginia. Served via WVPASS (wvpass.courtswva.com). Coverage: partial (live validation of scraped selectors in progress).
• Texas courts set to planned — 37 Texas state courts are indexed in the registry but carry planned status pending commercial access approval from the Texas Office of Court Administration. They appear in /v2/status and return 422 on docket queries until the agreement is in place.

​

Added

• Batch endpoint — POST /v2/cases/batch queries up to 50 cases in a single call; payment covers all, charge is per successful case
• Wallet keys — GET /v2/wallet/keys and POST /v2/wallet/keys for provisioning and rotating HMAC-SHA256 callback signing keys
• Wallet deliveries — GET /v2/wallet/deliveries returns paginated callback delivery history with status, attempt count, and response codes
• MCP server — POST /v2/mcp exposes all endpoints as tools for Claude and any MCP-compatible agent (MCP Streamable HTTP transport, protocol version 2025-11-25)
• context parameter — GET /v2/case accepts basic (default) or full; full adds complete party list with attorneys, cross-references, and full docket history
• language parameter — en or fr for bilingual jurisdictions; Canada coverage launches with this parameter already wired
• filing_types filter — comma-separated string to filter the delta block by filing type
• change_count and latest_activity_at — GET /v2/monitor now returns the count of new filings and the timestamp of the most recent one
• meta block — all responses include a structured meta object with request_id, queried_at, query_cost_usd, coverage_status, cache_age_seconds, context_delivered, language_delivered, truncated, and sandbox
• Sandbox mode — ?test=1 or X-DocketLayer-Test: 1 returns fixture data on any endpoint with no payment required
• X-DocketLayer-Tag header — arbitrary tag echoed back in meta.tag for caller-side request correlation
• jurisdiction_country — courts are labeled US or CA; Canadian federal and provincial courts launch in the registry at v2.0.0
• Quebec courts built, valve closed — qc_cs (Cour supérieure du Québec) and qc_ca (Cour d’appel du Québec) are in the registry with scrapers built but carry planned status pending a SOQUIJ commercial agreement. They appear in /v2/status but return 422 on docket queries.

​

Changed

• All endpoint paths move from /v1/ to /v2/
• GET /v2/case — new filings are now returned inside a delta block rather than at the top level; delta is only present when last_checked is supplied
• GET /v2/case — filing_types is now a comma-separated string, not a JSON array
• GET /v2/monitor — last_checked is now required (previously optional)
• Error responses now include a meta block with request_id and queried_at
