# Corte Suprema de Justicia de El Salvador Ruling

> Retrieve one resolution from the jurisprudencia of El Salvador's Corte Suprema de Justicia by its `id` from a search result (e.g. `1138697`) or its `official_url`: its full text, the reference number, the court, the area of law, the kind of proceeding and of resolution, the decision, the headnotes, the original document as the court published it, and the links to the record and the document on the court's own site. The text comes back a character range at a time (`offset`, `limit`); follow `next_offset` until `has_more` is false.

**Dataset endpoint**: answers from the whole source in milliseconds and carries `as_of`.

    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. Rate limits are per organization and
    reported on every response (`RateLimit-Policy`, `X-RateLimit-*`):

        Optional client-chosen key for this request (any string up to 255
        characters, e.g. a UUID). 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.
