GET STARTED

Quickstart

You'll need an API key and a terminal. Five minutes from key to first response.

1. Get an API key

Sign up for free, then create a key from the dashboard. Free tier = 3 lifetime requests — enough to test the envelope shape.

Sign upDashboard

2. Send your first request

Hit /v2/search with a Bearer token. Every response is a JSON envelope — see the reference for shapes.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ld_live_…" \
  "https://api.legaldata.cleolabs.co/v2/search?q=GDPR&country=eu&limit=3"

3. Pick your integration surface

REST works everywhere. The typed SDK is faster to write. The MCP server wires straight into Claude.

More detail coming soon. In the meantime, the REST reference is the source of truth.
