The Regulations and Directives themselves, article by article, plus the judgments interpreting them.

Auth

None. Everything here is keyless.

Two halves

Legislation — compliance_index, search_legislation, get_metadata, list_articles, get_article, get_document. Named acts resolve by alias, so get_article({celex: "GDPR", article: "17"}) returns the right to erasure without anyone knowing that GDPR is 32016R0679.

Case law — cjeu_search, cjeu_judgment. The Court of Justice and the General Court.

cjeu_search({query: "data protection"})
  → 62023CJ0097  Court of Justice  Judgment  2026-02-10
    WhatsApp Ireland Ltd v European Data Protection Board

cjeu_judgment({case_number: "C-97/23"})
  → 87,178 characters of the Grand Chamber judgment

Caveats worth passing on

• An Official Journal notice is not a judgment. 62023CA0097 is a paragraph-long summary of the ruling in 62023CJ0097. Both match a title search for the same case, so notices are excluded unless you pass include_notices: true.
• A case number does not say what the court produced. “C-97/23” might be a judgment, an order, or an Advocate General’s opinion. cjeu_judgment tries them in that order, and if it ends up returning something other than the judgment it sets substituted: true and says so — an AG’s opinion is a recommendation to the Court, not the Court’s ruling.
• Old cases may have no English judgment. English became an EU language in 1973, so for a 1964 case the judgment often has no English expression even though a later-translated AG opinion does. That is the main way substituted shows up in practice.
• Two-digit years mean what the court means. 6/64 is 1964 and 97/23 is 2023; a two-digit year above the current one belongs to the last century.
• Search matches the title, not the full text. CJEU titles name the parties and the subject matter, which is usually enough — but a doctrine discussed only in the reasoning will not be found by title.
