Frequently asked questions

How do I check court case status through an API?

Call GET /case/{cnr} with the case's CNR and read the status, next hearing date and hearing history. If you need the very latest update, queue POST /case/{cnr}/refresh first.

How much does a case status check cost?

INR 1.50 per case detail call on eCourtsIndia pay as you go and INR 0.15 per refresh. Enterprise plans bill at one third of that. New accounts get INR 200 free credit.

Is the status real time?

It is mirrored from public eCourts sources and updated on a schedule; the refresh endpoint queues a fresh read from the court source when you need it sooner.

Can an AI agent call this API?

Yes. eCourtsIndia runs an MCP server at https://mcp.ecourtsindia.com/mcp, so assistants such as Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor can use the same data after signing in at eCourts. The REST API uses a Bearer token.
