# API Coverage
> Exactly which US jurisdictions and corpus types the Vaquill statutes API has ingested, with live section counts
This page lists the US legal data Vaquill has ingested, by corpus type and by
jurisdiction. Vaquill covers the full stack of US primary law, not just statutes:
federal law, state statutes, state constitutions, court rules, state regulations,
and case law. The **Developer API** (`/statutes/*`) serves statutes, regulations,
constitutions, court rules, and executive actions, scoped with the `corpusType`
filter; case law is available in the platform. Coverage is queryable live from
`GET /statutes/coverage` and `GET /statutes/states`; the per-corpus matrix below
is a snapshot. In total the ingested corpus holds **\~3.5M sections** across all of
these corpus types.
**Snapshot date: 2026-07-21.** Statute coverage is always live via
`/statutes/states` and `/statutes/codes`. Constitutions, court rules and case
law are an expanding set.
**Regulations come in two tiers, and the difference matters.** 14 states are
ingested from the state's own official publisher and refreshed on a monthly
cycle. The remaining 31 come from a dated 2024 corpus with no live refresh
path, because those states either publish no free official full text or have
not been built yet. Every section from that tier carries `actStatus:
"snapshot"` plus the source's own "current through" line, and resolves to
`goodLawStatus: "unknown"` rather than being asserted as current law. The
matrix below marks them.
## What's in the corpus
**52 jurisdictions** (all 50 states + DC + Puerto Rico), **1.95M+ sections**. Queryable via the statutes API.
US Code (54,855), CFR (219,745), Federal Register rules (121,214), Executive Orders (3,593), agency guidance (2,509), Federal Rules of Procedure (526), US Constitution (74). Queryable via the statutes API.
**51 jurisdictions** (50 states + Puerto Rico), \~7.7K sections, with article/section structure and clickable citations. Queryable via the API (`corpusType=STATE_CONSTITUTION`).
**7 states**, \~8K rules (civil, criminal, appellate, and local), refreshed weekly. Queryable via the API (`corpusType=STATE_RULES`).
**45 states**, **1.1M+ rules**, with effective dates and statutory authority. 14 refreshed monthly from official publishers; 31 from a dated 2024 corpus, flagged `actStatus: "snapshot"`. Queryable via the API (`corpusType=REGULATION`).
Federal opinions from the Supreme Court through the District Courts (all 13 Circuits), plus state appellate and supreme court opinions across all 50 states, with inline citation resolution. Available in the platform.
Every section is indexed for hybrid semantic + keyword search and mirrored in
multiple formats (HTML, PDF, XML, plain text, DOCX) where the source provides
them.

## State and territory matrix
Counts are ingested sections. A dash means that corpus type is not yet ingested
for that jurisdiction. Sorted by statute volume.
An asterisk (\*) on a regulation count marks the **2024 snapshot tier**: those
sections carry `actStatus: "snapshot"`, resolve to `goodLawStatus: "unknown"`,
and are not refreshed. Unmarked regulation counts are ingested from the state's
own official publisher and refreshed monthly.

All 50 states plus DC and Puerto Rico have statute coverage, and most are
complete.
Pennsylvania's Consolidated Statutes are complete; its older unconsolidated
(Purdon's) statutes are a separate later addition and are prioritized for
backfill.
For the authoritative current
count of any jurisdiction, call
`/statutes/coverage` or `/statutes/states` (live).
Regulations now cover 45 states. 14 are official-source and refreshed monthly
(CO, ID, IL, KS, KY, MD, ME, MN, NM, OH, SC, VA, WA, WI); the rest are the
2024 snapshot tier marked with an asterisk above, and California, New Jersey,
New York and Vermont can only ever be served that way because their
administrative codes are published exclusively under commercial licence with
no free official full text. Constitutions and court rules roll out state by
state.

# Live coverage with current section counts
curl https://api.vaquill.ai/api/v1/statutes/states \

# Statutory codes for one state (e.g. Mississippi)
curl "https://api.vaquill.ai/api/v1/statutes/codes?state=ms" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer vq_key_..."
# Search within a state
curl -X POST https://api.vaquill.ai/api/v1/statutes/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer vq_key_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "landlord retaliation", "corpusType": "STATE", "state": "ms"}'
# Search state regulations (corpusType REGULATION, paired with a state)
curl -X POST https://api.vaquill.ai/api/v1/statutes/search \
-H "Authorization: Bearer vq_key_..." \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"query": "stormwater discharge permit", "corpusType": "REGULATION", "state": "wa"}'
```
Each column in the matrix above maps to a `corpusType` filter on `/statutes/search`: statutes to `STATE`, regulations to `REGULATION`, constitutions to `STATE_CONSTITUTION`, and court rules to `STATE_RULES`. Federal Register agency rules use `FEDERAL_REGISTER` and agency guidance uses `AGENCY_GUIDANCE`.
