## 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-court-opinions-search-justia-case-law-ac0cfe4d
```

Example prompt: Search US court opinions for cases about 'fair use' and artificial intelligence, filter to the Ninth Circuit (ca9), sorted by most cited, and show me the case name, court, filing date, how many opinions cite each case, and the opinion link.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need structured metadata about US court opinions — federal or state — searchable by keyword, court, and filing date. It is ideal for legal research tasks, citation analysis, tracking precedent, and identifying relevant case law without needing a full legal database subscription. Prefer it over general web search when you need structured fields like docket numbers, citation strings, judge names, and cited-by counts directly from CourtListener's database.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'q' parameter returns an error
- Invalid court ID returns empty results or an error
- Malformed date strings in filedAfter/filedBefore cause query failure
- Very broad queries may return thousands of results with limited per-page detail
- Cursor from a different query context may return unexpected results
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in a 402 response
