## 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 sitecheck-company-records-us-bankruptcy-filings-search-15d5ae09
```

Example prompt: Search CourtListener bankruptcy dockets for 'Canela 336 LLC' and give me up to 5 results — I want the case name, docket number, chapter, court, filing date, judge, and a link to the docket.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need quick, free-tier access to US federal bankruptcy docket metadata sourced from CourtListener, especially for name-based or keyword searches across all chapters and courts. Prefer it over direct PACER access when you don't need full filing documents and just want case-level metadata (name, chapter, court, judge, dates, docket link). It is ideal for due diligence workflows, legal research, and vendor vetting where a fast text-match search against public court records is sufficient.

## Known failure modes

- Missing or too-short query (under 2 characters) returns a validation error
- Query returns 0 results if no matching dockets exist in CourtListener
- Partial data: some fields like chapter or dateTerminated may be null if not recorded
- CourtListener upstream outage may cause 502/503 errors
- Limit parameter outside 1–10 range may be rejected or clamped
- Not a complete PACER registry — obscure or very recent filings may be absent

## How this service works

US federal bankruptcy dockets matching your text from CourtListener (Free Law Project): case name, docket number, court, chapter, filing and termination dates, judge and a CourtListener docket link. Search results only; not every PACER filing and not a complete bankruptcy registry.

## Output

A JSON object containing the search query, the CourtListener API source URL, a checkedAt timestamp, the total number of matching dockets, and an array of up to 10 results. Each result includes: case name, docket number, court name, bankruptcy chapter, date filed, date terminated (if applicable), assigned judge, and a direct CourtListener docket URL.
