Input
State statutory code identifier, e.g. 'tx_pe' (Texas Penal Code) — the identifier /us/statutes/divisions returns for corpusType=STATE. The only way to scope below a whole jurisdiction.
Part within a title or code, e.g. '240' (17 C.F.R. Part 240). Must be paired with titleNumber or code, or upstream answers 422.
Lowercase two-letter jurisdiction code (50 states, 'dc', 'pr'), or 'federal' for USC / CFR / Constitution / federal rules. A list covers several at once.
Chapter within a title or code, e.g. '21'. Must be paired with titleNumber or code, or upstream answers 422.
Keep only sections carrying these publisher statuses, e.g. 'repealed'. Contradicts excludeRepealed when it names a dead status (upstream 422).
Restrict to one corpus or a list, e.g. 'CFR' or ['USC','CFR']. Omit to cover every corpus. /us/statutes/coverage lists what each jurisdiction holds.
USC or CFR title number, e.g. 17 (SEC) or 42 (civil rights). State titles are not numeric — use code. Range: -9007199254740991 to 9007199254740991.
Drop sections whose status is affirmatively dead (repealed, renumbered, superseded, ...). A section with no recorded status is kept; read goodLawStatus on each result.

Questions
FAQ
How do I use the Vaquill Count API?
Send a POST request to https://api.sandbase.ai/v1/api/vaquill/count with your SandBase API key in the Authorization header (Bearer) and the parameters as a JSON body. You can also try it in the Playground on this page without writing code.
How much does the Vaquill Count API cost?
$0.01 per call, billed from your SandBase balance. You are only charged for calls you make; there is no subscription.
What parameters does the Vaquill Count API accept?
No parameters are required. Optional: code (any), part (any), state (any), chapter (any), actStatus (any) and corpusType (any) and 2 more. The Parameters table and the Playground on this page list every field.
What does the Vaquill Count API return?
A JSON result. This endpoint runs asynchronously, so the response tells you how to fetch the finished result.
Do I need a Vaquill developer account or API key?
No. Vaquill Count runs through SandBase, so one SandBase API key covers this endpoint and every other API and model in the catalog. You do not need to apply for Vaquill API access separately.
