legal_get_stats¶

Returns index and database statistics — number of indexed laws, norms, federal court decisions and last update timestamp.

When to use¶

• Bots that want to be transparent about their data state ("Lawbster 2026-04-29, X laws")
• Coverage reports for compliance audits
• Health checks in monitoring pipelines

Parameters¶

None — the stats endpoint takes no arguments.

Response (example)¶

{
  "stats": {
    "law_count": 11247,
    "norm_count": 6234891,
    "decision_count": 142883,
    "last_ingest_run": "2026-04-29T01:32:14Z",
    "by_jurisdiction": {
      "de": 9874,
      "eu": 1186
    },
    "by_source_type": {
      "gii": 9874,
      "eurlex": 1186,
      "rechtsprechung": 142883
    }
  }
}

Tips¶

Cache it in the bot. Data state changes only once per night — a bot can cache the stats value for 24 h instead of refetching before every render.
