Official Code of Georgia Annotated (O.C.G.A.) — Georgia state statutes by citation and by topic search, with historical versions and legislative/amendment history.

Tools

• ga_code_section(citation) — the current text of a Code section by citation (any natural form: "16-5-1", "O.C.G.A. § 44-7-34", "Ga. Code Ann. § 16-5-1", "Title 16, Chapter 5, Section 1"). Returns status (active/repealed/reserved), the legislative history line (the Acts that enacted and amended it), editor’s notes and cross references, and every stored historical version when a section has more than one — e.g. a delayed effective date.
• ga_code_search(query, limit?, headings_only?) — full-text topic search over the Code’s body text and catchlines. Returns ranked citations with a highlighted snippet; pass the citation to ga_code_section for the full text.

Auth

Keyless. No signup, no key, on either side of the call.

Data sources

• https://api.georgiacommons.org/api/code/sections/{citation} — section lookup.
• https://api.georgiacommons.org/api/code/search?q= — full-text search (in=headings narrows to headings/catchlines only).
• Documented at https://georgiacommons.org/api and https://georgiacommons.org/api/endpoints.

Why this isn’t a Lexis call. Georgia’s own publishing arrangement — the Code Revision Commission, for the General Assembly (legis.ga.gov) — contracts the OCGA’s online text out to LexisNexis (advance.lexis.com), which is a login-shaped surface this pack does not touch. The statutory text itself carries no copyright: Georgia v. Public.Resource.Org, Inc., 590 U.S. 255 (2020) held the OCGA (text and annotations) is an edict of government. Georgia Commons — an independent project of Georgia Civic Data, explicitly “not affiliated with, operated by, or endorsed by the State of Georgia” — publishes that public-domain text as a CC0-1.0, keyless, no-signup JSON API, current through the 2025 Regular Session, extracted from the state’s own officially released volumes (each record’s source_link points back to the original legis.ga.gov PDF). This pack calls that API live, per request.

Four capabilities, one response shape. GET /api/code/sections/{citation} carries all four at once:

• citation lookup — the top-level fields (catchline, status, heading_path).
• topic/full-text search — the separate /search endpoint.
• historical version — the versions[] array; version_count is 1 for most sections and >1 for ones with a delayed or superseded effective date.
• amendments/history — the history string (Acts that enacted/amended the section) and notes (editor’s notes, cross references, law review articles).

Rate limits (documented, no key): 120 requests/min, 2,000/hr, shared across Georgia Commons’ bills/opinions/code collections. One request per tool call here; a 429 carries Retry-After.

Citation parsing is upstream’s job, not ours. The API itself accepts "16-5-1", "O.C.G.A. § 16-5-1", "Ga. Code Ann. § 16-5-1", "Code Section 16-5-1", and "Title 16, Chapter 5, Section 1" — this pack passes the caller’s string through URL-encoded rather than re-parsing it, and lets the upstream’s own 404 (which names the nearest sections and the accepted forms) do the error handling.

Scope note. The upstream API also serves General Assembly bills, Supreme Court of Georgia opinions, and both the Georgia and U.S. constitutions under the same /api/{collection} grammar — out of scope for this pack, which is statutes only.
