# Invoket Legal History Batch — French & EU Law Version Lookup

> Invoket Legal History Batch — French & EU Law Version Lookup is a paid API for AI agents from api.invoket.com, paid per call via x402, $0.01/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability invoket-legal-history-batch-french-eu-law-version-lookup-8b38c946 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the full version history for Code civil article 1240 and GDPR article 17 at once — I need the effective dates, LEGI status (like vigueur or abroge), and version IDs for both?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need legislative version history for multiple French code articles or EU regulations in a single call. Prefer it over single-article lookups when comparing amendment timelines across articles, checking repeal status across a batch, or resolving LEGI/EUR-Lex version IDs for compliance workflows. Best when working with French civil, commercial, or administrative law (base LEGI) or consolidated EU regulations via EUR-Lex.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown article code or CELEX ID returns empty results array with count 0
- Malformed request body causes 400 Bad Request
- Payment not settled via x402 returns 402 Payment Required
- Coverage incomplete flag (coverage.complete: false) indicates partial data for that article
- Rate limiting or gateway timeout if batch is too large

## How this service works

Before your agent re-certifies a legal knowledge base or monitors a portfolio of citations: the version timeline (status and validity dates) of up to 100 French or EU article references in one call, from the official LEGI and EUR-Lex datasets, to detect which references changed and when. Covers 12 major French codes and statutes and key EU acts (GDPR, DSA, AI Act, MiCA and more).

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a results array, one entry per queried article, each containing: the article number, code label, total version count, a coverage.complete boolean, and an ordered versions array with date_debut, date_fin, etat (vigueur/abroge/modifie/vigueur_diff/abroge_diff), and version_id. Also includes provenance metadata indicating the data source (DILA LEGI or EUR-Lex), snapshot freshness date, and fetch timestamp.
