What data do I get from each court search?

Each search returns structured data including process number (CNJ), parties, movements, subjects, and metadata from both 1st and 2nd court instances.

How does the caching system work?

Fresh data (< 2 days) returns instantly. Stale data returns immediately while a background refresh runs. Use force_refresh to skip cache entirely (5x cost).

How is pricing calculated?

1 credit = 1 court searched. Each credit costs R$ 0.10. Force refresh costs 5x. Credits never expire. 5 free credits on signup.

Do I need a subscription?

No. Vigilant uses a pay-as-you-go credit model. No monthly fees, no minimums, no commitments.

How do I integrate with my system?

REST API with OpenAPI 3.1 documentation and interactive Scalar docs. Generate a Bearer token API key from your dashboard.

Is the data LGPD compliant?

Yes. Vigilant only extracts publicly available court data. All data encrypted in transit and at rest.

What happens if a court is unavailable?

Circuit breakers per court with automatic retries. Failed court searches receive automatic credit refunds.

1. Service Description

Vigilant provides a REST API for extracting structured lawsuit data from Brazilian court systems. The service searches public court records by CPF and returns parties, movements, subjects, and metadata.

2. Account & Credits

You must create an account to use the service. Each court search costs credits, purchased via Stripe. Credits are non-transferable. Unused credits do not expire. Refunds are provided automatically for failed searches.

3. Acceptable Use

You agree to use the service only for lawful purposes. You must have legitimate reason to search CPF data (legal proceedings, credit analysis, compliance). Mass scraping, reselling raw data, or using the service for harassment is prohibited.

4. Data Accuracy

We extract data directly from court websites. While we strive for accuracy, court systems may change without notice. We do not guarantee completeness or real-time accuracy of the data. Results are cached for up to 2 days.

5. Service Availability

We target 99.9% uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Court websites may be temporarily unavailable. Failed searches are automatically retried and credits are refunded if all attempts fail.

6. API Usage Limits

API usage is subject to rate limits to ensure fair access. Excessive requests may be throttled. Contact us if you need higher limits for enterprise use cases.

7. Liability

Vigilant is provided "as is". We are not liable for decisions made based on the data returned by the API. You are responsible for verifying data accuracy for your use case.

8. Changes to Terms

We may update these terms. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance. We will notify registered users of material changes via email.
