Free text matches the name, the documentation center's summary and the consolidated text. Filter by `type`, `status` (`vigente`, `caducada`, `derogada`), `subject`, `number`, `municipality`, `department`, `year` and the publication date (`from_date`/`to_date`). Each result carries Croma's copy of the original document and links to the record and the document on the court's own site. Served by Croma (`as_of` says how current the data is). **Dataset endpoint**: answers from the whole source in milliseconds and carries `as_of`. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /api-reference/openapi.json post /sv/csj-sv/laws-search/v1 openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Croma Marketplace API version: 1.0.0 description: >- Government-data APIs for Colombia, Peru, Mexico, and global web search. Croma normalizes public-sector data into structured JSON for product teams and AI agents. Every operation is a POST with a JSON body and an organization API key as a bearer token; every operation is an idempotent lookup and accepts an optional `Idempotency-Key` header. Paths carry their major version (`/v1`); the versioning and deprecation policy, including the `Deprecation` and `Sunset` headers a retiring endpoint sends, is at https://docs.usecroma.com/versioning.

Every Croma operation is an idempotent lookup: repeating a request with the same body returns the same result and creates nothing, so retrying after a timeout or network failure is always safe. The key is echoed back in the `Idempotency-Key` response header so you can correlate a retry with its first attempt. Each attempt that reaches the API counts against the rate limit. schema: type: string maxLength: 255 example: 0f8e9a42-6b7c-4d1e-9a3f-2c5d7e8f9a0b headers: X-Request-Id: description: Unique id for the request (req_…).
