eurlex_search
Read-onlyIdempotent
Search EU legal acts by title substring (contiguous phrase, case-insensitive). Narrow results with filters for document type, language, or publication date.
Instructions
Searches EU legal acts by title substring (contiguous phrase, case-insensitive — not tokenized full-text search). For topic-based discovery use eurlex_by_eurovoc instead. Broad single-word terms can be slow; narrow with resource_type or date_from/date_to. Supports all 24 official EU languages (pass the Cellar 3-letter code, e.g. DEU, ENG, FRA, POL, SPA); match the query term to the chosen language. Results are newest-first within the fetched sample, not necessarily the globally newest match for very broad queries.
