Not-found and failed lookups are not charged. Reading one section rarely settles a question -- the definitions sit a few sections back and the exceptions a few forward. Search cannot answer "what comes next", because relevance ranking is not statutory order. Neighbours never cross the containing chapter (or, where a section has no chapter, the containing title or state code), so you get the sections a reader would actually turn to, not the numerically adjacent row from an unrelated part of the corpus. Ordering is natural, not lexicographic: `9` before `10`, `240.9` before `240.10`, `1983` before `1983a`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://api.vaquill.ai/external/openapi.json get /api/v1/statutes/section/{act_id}/related openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Vaquill Developer API description: >- Public API for legal statutes and legislation. **Authentication**: Pass your API key via the `Authorization: Bearer vq_key_...` header. **Credits**: Each call costs API credits.
