The Community tier
Free API access for legal aid organizations and nonprofits. You are exactly the audience that knows when a rule is wrong — so the deal is explicit: you get the registry for free, and the errata program is how you help keep it honest.
What you get
- Full API access — bundles, search, the changes feed, and the verify endpoint — at 60 requests/minute, free.
- A formal errata SLA: reports you file as a Community partner are triaged within 48 hours for critical reports (a wrong deadline, a wrong amount, anything that could cause a missed right) and 7 days for standard reports.
- Public credit on the errata changelog for every confirmed error you catch — with your consent, by the name on your API key.
- Coverage influence: gaps you hit become the roadmap. Empty cells on /coverage get prioritized by who is asking.
What we ask
- Flag errors you hit in practice. When a rule disagrees with what you see in the field — a deadline that moved, an amount that changed, a provision a court read differently — file it:
curl -X POST https://api.pandectai.com/api/v1/errata \
-H "Authorization: Bearer rc_your_community_key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"ruleId": "us-or-lease-security-deposit-return",

}'- Attribution in your product or materials: “Rules data by Pandect” with a link. (This was already a tier term; it stays.)
- No resale of the data itself; serving your clients with it is the whole point.
What we promise
- Every report is triaged against the SLA, and the queue is monitored by the verification pipeline — see methodology.
- Confirmed errors are corrected in the registry (with a changelog entry — git is the audit trail), published on the public errata changelog permanently, and credited to you with your consent.
- If your report is rejected, you get the reasoning, not silence — usually with the primary-source quote we anchored the rule to.
Getting a key
Community keys are provisioned manually in v2 (self-serve signup is on the roadmap). Write to us with your organization and what you serve; keys are created on the dashboard by the operator.
