The decisions of the Conseil d'État, the administrative courts of appeal and the administrative tribunals for glitchr/omnilex, from the open data of the administrative justice (https://opendata.justice-administrative.fr): a search by text, court, kind of decision and dates, one decision with its full text, what was added since a date. No key.

$administratif = (new JusticeAdministrativeSourceFactory($http))->create();

$results = $administratif->search(new Query(text: 'permis de construire', jurisdictions: ['CE'], types: ['Décision'], from: '2026-09-01'));
$decision = $administratif->decision($results->items[0]->id);
$decision->court->formation;          // 8ème chambre jugeant seule
$decision->publication;               // Inédit au recueil Lebon
$decision->content;                   // the full text, pseudonymised

$administratif->decision('ECLI:FR:CECHS:2026:505010.20261002');              // a decision of the Conseil d'État by its ECLI
$administratif->recent(new DateTimeImmutable('-7 days'), new Query(jurisdictions: ['CAA69']));

What the service is, and is not

The site documents monthly archives to download (/DCE/, /DCA/, /DTA/: zipped XML, one file per decision). It publishes no API contract. What this package asks is the JSON interface the site's own search engine calls (/recherche/api/...), read from the engine's pages and verified call by call on 2026-10-04. It works without a key and gives what the engine gives; it may change without notice. When a route disappears, the package says so (ProviderException: "the search engine no longer answers this route") instead of answering with nothing.

The archives are not read by this package: for a full copy of the base, download them.

Pseudonymised decisions

The decisions are pseudonymised by the Conseil d'État before they are published (Decision::$pseudonymised is true). This package gives them as they are and never tries to put a name back on a person; an application built on it must not either.

The conditions of use (version of 18 January 2022, Licence Ouverte 2.0) ask the re-user, among other things:

not to alter a decision nor distort its meaning, and to keep with it its number, the court and formation that gave it, and its date (an excerpt must be shown as one, with a way to the whole decision);
to name the source - the open data base of the Conseil d'État - and the date the decision was loaded from it (Decision::$url, Decision::$updatedOn);
to keep the data up to date;
never to use the identity of the judges and clerks to assess, analyse, compare or predict their professional practice (code de justice administrative, art. L. 10: a criminal offence), and invite the re-user to report to the Conseil d'État any element that would still identify a person in a decision.

What you need to obtain

Nothing.

Option
`recent`	the date `recent()` reads: `lastModified` (the day a decision joined the base, default) or `Date_Lecture` (the day it was read in open court)
`throttle`	seconds between two calls (1)
`base_uri`	to override the interface's address
