# Index mercantile-law norms through the singular legacy alias

`GET /api/v1/legal/norm`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://openmercantil.es`
- URL: `https://openmercantil.es/api/v1/legal/norm`
- Auth: none declared
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/openmercantil/apis/openmercantil-public-api/docs/api/v1/legal/norm/get.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

> **Deprecated.**

Deprecated alias of `GET /api/v1/legal/norms`. It returns the same BOE-attributed informational catalog and is not the norm-detail route; norm detail requires `/api/v1/legal/norm/{slug}`.

## Response `200`
