The DocketStream REST API enables you to integrate real-time correctional intelligence directly into your own applications, workflows, and dashboards. Every endpoint surfaces the same live data powering the DocketStream platform — Georgia jail rosters, court case records, GDC corrections data, and Smart Alert webhooks — all accessible programmatically over HTTPS.

​
Base URL

All API requests are made to the following base URL:
Append the resource path to this base URL to form a complete endpoint, for example:

​
API Availability

The DocketStream API is available on the Enterprise plan only. If you are on a lower-tier plan, API requests will return a 403 forbidden response. Contact support@docketstream.org to upgrade your account or request a demo.

​
Request and Response Format

All requests must include a Content-Type: application/json header. Request bodies, where required, must be valid JSON. Every successful response is returned as JSON.

​
Authentication

All requests require a valid API key passed as a Bearer token in the Authorization header. See the Authentication page for instructions on generating a key and constructing authenticated requests.

​
Rate Limits

Enterprise accounts may make up to 100 requests per minute. When you exceed this limit, the API returns HTTP 429 Too Many Requests. Back off and retry after the interval indicated in the Retry-After response header.
Need a higher rate limit for a high-volume integration? Contact the DocketStream sales team at support@docketstream.org to discuss a custom allowance.

​
Versioning

The current API version is v1, reflected in the base URL. DocketStream will communicate breaking changes at least 30 days in advance via email to the address on your account and through a banner in the platform dashboard. Non-breaking additions (new fields, new optional parameters) may be introduced at any time without prior notice.
Pin your integration to the /v1 base URL. Future major versions will be released at /v2, giving you time to migrate without disrupting existing requests.
