Searches court records against a individual's or company's name and state.

Searches can be made against civil records, criminal records, or both.

There are two types of searches:

Summary - This returns the number of records and type that can be found against the individual or company.
Detailed - This returns the details of the records that can be found against the individual or company.

Sandbox environment

When performing a court check in the sandbox environment, the following record will return a match:

Name Searches:

First Name	Last Name	State
Michael	Raymond	VIC

Company Searches:

Company	State
Samplemart	VIC

These samples can be queried with criminal, civil or both record listings.

Request body

Content type application/json. The details of the entity to search court records for.

Field	Description
`type`	string The type of entity to search for. Enum: `name`, `company` Example: `name`
`report`	string The type of report to generate. Enum: `summary`, `detail` Example: `summary`
`listing`	string The type of court records to search for. Enum: `civil`, `criminal`, `all` Example: `civil`
`name_first`	string The first name of the individual when performing a name search. This should not be used in conjunction with name_full in detailed reports. If name_full is set, then name_first will be ignored in detailed reports. Example: `Michael`
`name_middle`	string The middle names of the individual when performing a name search. This should not be used in conjunction with name_full in detailed reports. If name_full is set, then name_middle will be ignored in detailed reports.
`name_last`	string The last name of the individual when performing a name search. This should not be used in conjunction with name_full in detailed reports. If name_full is set, then name_last will be ignored in detailed reports. Example: `Raymond`
`name_full`	string The full name of the individual when performing a name search in detail reports. This is used to search for the individual in the court records. It should be in the form "Last name, First name Middle name". Eg: "DOE, JOHN JAMES" If you would rather supply the name in its natural order and have it split for you, use name_full_unstructured instead. This field should not be used in summary reports.
`name_full_unstructured`	string [max 80 characters] The full name of the individual in its natural order, "First name Middle name Last name". Eg: "John James Doe" The API makes a best effort attempt to split this into the first, middle and last name for you, so you do not have to format the name yourself the way name_full requires. This can only be used in detail reports for name searches. Using it in any other type of report will return an error. This field should not be used in conjunction with name_full, name_first, name_middle or name_last. Doing so will return an error. If the name cannot be split into at least a first and a last name, the value you supplied is used as name_full instead. The usual name requirements for a detail report still apply to it, so a value that is not a usable name will still be rejected. Example: `Michael Raymond`
`company`	string The name of the company when performing a company search.
`state`	string The state to search in. If the state is omitted, then all states will be searched. Enum: `NSW`, `VIC`, `QLD`, `WA`, `SA`, `TAS`, `ACT`, `NT` Example: `VIC`
`max_results`	integer The maximum number of results to return. Example: `10`
`first_result`	integer Specifies the first result to be returned in the list of records. This is useful when displaying results in a paginated manner. Example: `0`
