SAMAI Rulings Search

Search every ruling of the Consejo de Estado dated since December 2021 that its relatoría has titled: sentencias, autos, aclaraciones and salvamentos de voto and conceptos, each with the relatoría's headnotes (descriptors, legal problem and answer, thesis, formal sources, notes), its full text, its document (PDF, or Word for some of the oldest) and the case's page on the court's own site. Free text matches the headnotes, the case number, the parties and the full text. Filter by chamber, type, year, registration_number (the radicado), reporting_judge (the consejero ponente), plaintiff, defendant and the ruling date (from_date/to_date). Served by Croma (as_of says how current the data is).

Dataset endpoint: answers from the whole source in milliseconds and carries as_of.

Headers

Idempotency-Keystring

Example:0f8e9a42-6b7c-4d1e-9a3f-2c5d7e8f9a0b

Optional client-chosen key for this request (any string up to 255 characters, e.g. a UUID). Every Croma operation is an idempotent lookup: repeating a request with the same body returns the same result and creates nothing, so retrying after a timeout or network failure is always safe. The key is echoed back in the Idempotency-Key response header so you can correlate a retry with its first attempt. Each attempt that reaches the API counts against the rate limit.
