• POST /v1/consolidation-status — For a base act, returns the consolidated versions the Publications Office has produced, each with its cut-off date and CELEX number, ordered newest first, together with the amending acts known for the base act. The warning that leads the response is not decoration: a consolidated version is a working aid produced for readability and carries no legal force, so citing one cites a reading aid rather than the law, and the Office states this on every consolidated document.

• POST /v1/court-citation-graph — For a Court of Justice or General Court decision, returns the legal acts and earlier rulings it cites, and separately the later rulings that cite it, each with its CELEX number and date. The inbound count is the substance: how often a ruling is cited is the best available measure of its weight in the case law, since a judgment thirty later ones rely on carries the doctrine while one nobody cites decided a single case, and the two are indistinguishable from the text alone.

• POST /v1/eu-law-resolver — Takes any identifier for an EU legal act and returns the others, along with the available language versions and formats. The distinction it insists on is the one that is constantly confused: the work is the act itself and is language-independent, the expression is its version in one language, and the manifestation is a file of that expression.

• POST /v1/implementation-deadline — Returns the dates Cellar records for a legal act, each labelled with what it actually means. Entry into force is when the act exists as law; date of application is when it is applied and for regulations frequently falls two years later; the transposition deadline applies only to directives and is when member states must have adapted national law; end of validity is when it stops applying.

• POST /v1/amendment-chain — Returns the acts that amend or repeal a given legal act, and separately the acts that it amends or repeals, ordered by date. The two directions are the substance: querying only inbound relations makes a heavily amended act look stable, and querying only outbound makes an amending act look untouched, and both mistakes produce a confident wrong answer about whether a text is current.

• POST /v1/eurovoc-resolver — Resolves a term against the EuroVoc thesaurus, the controlled vocabulary EU documents are indexed with, and returns the matching concepts with their URIs, their preferred labels in the requested languages, their alternative labels, and their position in the hierarchy through broader, narrower and related concepts.
