Requirements

This library relies on pydantic and httpx to perform queries to JUDILIBRE and to validate inputs and outputs. You also need credentials from PISTE.

Installation

You can install it from pyjudilibre.

pip install pyjudilibre

Simple usage

To instantiate the main class, JudilibreClient, you need to use your JUDILIBRE API key (see here).

import logging
from pyjudilibre import JudilibreClient

JUDILIBRE_API_KEY = "***"
client = JudilibreClient(
    judilibre_api_key=JUDILIBRE_API_KEY,
    logging_level=logging.DEBUG,
)

To get a decision, you need to provide its ID:

DECISION_ID = "667e51a56430c94f3afa7d0e"
decision = client.decision(decision_id=DECISION_ID)
