# OpenJustice Open Data Portal JSON:API

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/apis/california-attorney-general/openjustice-open-data-portal-jsonapi/  
**Provider:** California Attorney General — https://apis.io/providers/california-attorney-general/  
**Base URL:** https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/jsonapi  
**Documentation:** https://openjustice.doj.ca.gov/data

OpenJustice Open Data Portal JSON:API is published by [California Attorney General](https://apis.io/providers/california-attorney-general/) on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Criminal Justice, Open Data, Datasets, Crime Statistics, and JSON:API. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification, API documentation, authentication docs, and rate-limit docs.

The live JSON:API 1.0 surface behind the Attorney General's OpenJustice Open Data Portal, served anonymously by Drupal 9 at https://data-openjustice.doj.ca.gov/jsonapi. It carries the 26 published criminal-justice datasets with their 148 CSV/XLSX/ZIP/PDF distributions (direct downloads under /sites/default/files/), the six Exploration stats pages, the CJSC statistical publications and their per-year report PDFs, the OpenJustice data stories and the site taxonomies. Reads are anonymous with JSON:API filtering, sorting, sparse fieldsets, relationship includes and 50-per-page offset pagination; anonymous create is granted only on the three feedback routes the site footer uses (signup, suggestion, bug) and every other write returns 401. Not published or documented by the DOJ — found through the axios baseURL in the OpenJustice app bundle and described from live probes on 2026-09-17.
