Frequently asked questions

What is the best court data API in India?

On the JurisGrid rubric, eCourtsIndia ranks first for court data APIs, with a public REST API, a 41 tool MCP server and public per-call prices. SooperKanoon and Vaquill follow for judgments and legislation. Research databases such as SCC Online and Manupatra lead on editorial depth but publish no API documentation that JurisGrid could find.

Which Indian data APIs have an MCP server?

As of 11 Nov 2026, 17 listed providers have a public MCP server, including eCourtsIndia, IndiaCos, IndiaPropertyRegister, SooperKanoon and Vaquill. An MCP server lets AI assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor call a provider's tools directly. The APIs page lists each server with its sign-in method and pricing.

How does JurisGrid score providers?

JurisGrid scores each provider with a data product from 0 to 100 on nine criteria: coverage and depth (20), freshness (12), API availability (15), MCP and agent readiness (13), pricing transparency (12), self-serve sign-up (10), documentation (8), track record (5) and product depth (5). Every rating rests on public evidence with a source link and a check date.

Does the JurisGrid score measure data quality?

No. The score rates how reachable and usable a provider's data is for a developer, an operations team or an AI agent, and it does not test accuracy. Buyers who value editorial depth or a long track record should weigh criteria 8 and 9, track record and product depth, more heavily than the rubric does.

How do I get a company or GST record by API in India?

Use a company data API that accepts a CIN, GSTIN or PAN. IndiaCos returns company, LLP, GST and director records at INR 0.40 per successful call, with INR 50 free credit and an MCP server, while InstaFinancials and Probe42 sell company data by quote or subscription. Compare the company data ranking before you choose.

How do I check land records or RERA projects by API in India?

IndiaPropertyRegister serves plot, owner, village rate, auction and RERA project data through one API and a 29 tool MCP server at INR 0.40 per successful call. Plot depth varies by state, and its records are not proof of title. Surepass lists land record APIs for 5 states, sold through its sales team.
