Clio Matter Dockets API

A Matter Docket connects a Matter with a Court Rule (and all of the Calendar Entries associated with the Court Rule). Matter Dockets are viewable on the Matter Edit screen under the Court Rules heading. Matter Dockets are part of the [Court Rules](https://help.clio.com/hc/en-us/articles/9289840995867-Court-Rules) feature which is not available to all plan types. See [here](https://www.clio.com/pricing/) for feature support across different plans. [Support Link](https://help.clio.com/hc/en-us/articles/9289840995867-Court-Rules)

    # Getting Started

    > **Note:** The API is available in four distinct data regions: Australia (au.app.clio.com), Canada (ca.app.clio.com), EU (eu.app.clio.com) and US (app.clio.com).

    >

    > Likewise, the developer portal is available at region-specific links for the Australia, Canada, EU, and US regions.

    >

    > This document assumes the US region is being used (app.clio.com). If you''re building in one of the other regions, you should adapt the links and examples as necessary.


    To start building on the Clio API, you’ll need a Clio account – you can review our Developer Handbook and follow the steps to sign up for an account.


    Once you have an account, you can create a developer application from the Developer Portal and start building!

    # Minor Versions

    API v4 supports multiple minor versions. Versions are of the form ''4.X.Y''. To request a specific version, you can use an `X-API-VERSION` header in your request, with the header value set to the API version you''re requesting. If this header is omitted, it will be treated as a request for the default API version. If the header is present but invalid, it will return a `410 Gone` response. If the header is present and valid, but it is no longer supported, it will return a `410 Gone` response.


    An `X-API-VERSION` will be included in all successful responses, with the value being set to the API version used.


    You can find our API Versioning Policy and Guidelines in our documentation hub.
