`echr_judgment`

Pack: hudoc · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/hudoc/mcp

Fetch the full text of one ECHR document by its itemid (from echr_search, e.g. “001-249132”). Returns the judgment/decision body converted to plain text, paged. Very recently published items (within a few days) sometimes have no converted text yet — the tool says so rather than returning nothing silently; echr_search’s conclusion field is available immediately even then.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`itemid`	string	yes	HUDOC itemid from echr_search, e.g. “001-249132”.
`max_chars`	number	no	Max characters to return (default 12000, max 40000).
`offset`	number	no	Character offset, for paging through a long judgment (default 0).
