Features

• Court file metadata from the Rama Judicial integration (fields vary by source)
• City-scoped lookup using supported circuit codes
• Signed responses; repeat calls may be cached

Use Cases

• KYC and risk workflows that need judicial file context in Colombia
• Legal and compliance checks tied to a CC and jurisdiction (city)

Notes

• documentType is restricted to CC at the API layer.
• city must match a value accepted by the upstream service (see Parameters).
• Availability and field completeness depend on the underlying judicial registry; empty or error outcomes are possible for valid inputs.
