Caselaw Access Project bulk data (Harvard Library Innovation Lab) is one of 14 APIs that [Harvard University](https://apis.io/providers/harvard/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network. Tagged areas include Legal, Open Data, Bulk Data, Case Law, and Retired API. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes API documentation.

Harvard Law School Library Innovation Lab's digitization of US case law, served as static bulk data organized by reporter. The live REST API at api.case.law was retired in 2024 and now 301-redirects to the project documentation; API operations were transferred to the Free Law Project's CourtListener while Harvard continues to serve the bulk data itself. Recorded partly because it is a genuine, executed, publicly documented API sunset - a rare thing anywhere and unique in this cohort.
