EU law for glitchr/omnilex, from the Publications Office's open access to Cellar, the repository behind EUR-Lex: an act in its consolidated version at a date, one article of it, a judgment of the Court of Justice by its ECLI, the links between acts and judgments, what is new. No key.

What you need to obtain

Nothing: the endpoint is open, without a key nor an account. The conditions of re-use are those of EUR-Lex's legal notice: read it before publishing these texts, and name the source.

Option
`language`	ISO 639-1, one of the 24 official languages: titles, labels and texts (`fr`)
`content`	`false`: `text()` and `decision()` do not fetch the text itself (one call less, up to a few megabytes)
`throttle`	seconds between two calls (0.5)
`base_uri`, `resource_uri`	the SPARQL endpoint and the resources, to override

Consolidated versions are documentary tools: only the texts published in the Official Journal of the European Union are authentic.
