A free, keyed, rate-limited API over Lekha's public data: the template catalogue with published Trust Scores, and metadata search across the open Indian Supreme Court & High Court judgment index. Honest scope — metadata, not full judgment text; educational, not legal advice.
Authenticate with Authorization: Bearer <key>. Keys are shown once at creation and stored only as a hash — if you lose one, revoke it and create another. Free tier: 120 requests/minute per key.

Judgment data comes from the official open archives (CC-BY-4.0) and is indexed, never re-hosted — results link to the source PDF. Party names are derived from the archive's own listing and should be verified at the source. Trust Scores measure how well-sourced content is, not whether it is legally correct. This API returns educational information, not legal advice.
