FAQ

Questions Docket Alarm owners ask.

  • 01

    Does searching PACER directly incur fees?

    Yes, using the search_pacer capability incurs a $0.10 fee per page of results as per PACER's standard pricing. You can use the test parameter to return fake data without incurring fees.

  • 02

    How can I get alerts for new activity on a specific case?

    Use the track_case capability by providing the court name, docket number, and a schedule (daily, weekly, or hourly). The system will then monitor the case and alert you to new filings.

  • 03

    Can I summarize a legal complaint using this server?

    Yes! The get_complaint_summary capability is designed to analyze the initial filings of a case and provide a concise summary of the allegations and parties involved.
