# How big the enforcement registry actually is (OPEN — no key, not metered)

`GET /enforcement/coverage`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://ai-law-tracker.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://ai-law-tracker.com/api/v1/enforcement/coverage`
- Auth: one of:
  - none
  - API key in header `X-API-Key`
  - HTTP bearer

Counts the registry rather than serving it: matters held, matters publishable, and how many are withheld as duplicates or for untranslated internal language — plus breakdowns by matter type, jurisdiction level and agency, and the de-duplicated monetary relief total.

THE WITHHELD COUNTS ARE THE POINT. A caller who sees `total: 61` on /enforcement/matters would reasonably conclude the registry IS 61 matters. It is 91: 11 duplicates and 21 untranslated captions (overlapping) leave 30 withheld, and 6 of the published ones carry a nulled field. This is the same commitment /v1/us-law/taxonomy makes by publishing `records_placeholder`.

The relief total is computed over PUBLISHABLE, de-duplicated matters only and says so in `relief.basis`. Summed naively across all 91 rows it is wrong by at least the $3.2M DOJ/OpenAI settlement, which is present twice under two matter_uids.
