The Optimaite Law API is a RESTful API that lets you integrate your legal practice management data with external tools, custom scripts, and third-party applications.

Base URL

All API requests should be made to:

https://api.optimaite.eu/api/v1

Your First Request

Once you have an API key, making your first request is simple:

curl https://api.optimaite.eu/api/v1/cases \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: application/json"

A successful response returns a JSON array of cases:

{
  "data": [
    {
      "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
      "name": "Smith v. Jones",
      "file_number": "AZ-2026-001",
      "status": "active",
      "created_at": "2026-01-15T09:00:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "pagination": {
    "cursor": "eyJpZCI6IjU1MGU4NDAwIn0=",
    "has_more": true
  }
}

SDKs and Libraries

You can use any HTTP client to interact with the API. Here are examples in popular languages:

Python
import requests

client = requests.Session()
client.headers.update({
    "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    "Accept": "application/json",
})

# List cases
response = client.get("https://api.optimaite.eu/api/v1/cases")
cases = response.json()["data"]
JavaScript
const client = await fetch("https://api.optimaite.eu/api/v1/cases", {
  headers: {
    Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY",
    Accept: "application/json",
  },
});
const { data: cases } = await client.json();
Go
client := &http.Client{}
req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET",
    "https://api.optimaite.eu/api/v1/cases", nil)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY")
req.Header.Set("Accept", "application/json")

resp, _ := client.Do(req)
defer resp.Body.Close()
