The reader’s problem
The first public JSON API added structured access to search results, laws, individual articles, rulings and Gazette issues.
What changed
An application could request a record directly rather than infer its structure from a rendered page. The interface is read-only, with documented limits for shared public use.
Using the feature
Start with the API documentation and a small search request. Open the returned record, preserve its identifiers and source links, and fetch the particular article when you need the wording of a provision. That keeps a citation connected to the document it describes.
Reading the evidence
An API response is a representation of the library's records. It is not an independent legal authority or a substitute for reading the relevant publication. Later changes expanded listings and amendment details; consult the current documentation when building an integration rather than assuming the first release's fields are the whole interface.
