Frequently asked questions

Is there an official cause list API?

No official API was found. Courts publish cause lists as web pages and PDFs, so developers use third-party APIs such as eCourtsIndia, Vakeel360 or Legalkart, or open-source scrapers.

How much does the cause list API cost?

INR 3.00 per search and INR 0.30 per CNR in a batch check on eCourtsIndia pay as you go; Enterprise plans bill INR 1.00 and INR 0.10. Dates and court structure lookups are free. New accounts get INR 200 free credit.

Can I be alerted when my case is listed?

Send your CNRs to the batch endpoint on a schedule; each result says whether the CNR has an upcoming listing and gives the next one.

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.
