LegalMatch API
No public, partner, or private API: no endpoints, developer portal, webhooks, or SDKs. Matched cases reach attorneys by email, SMS, and app push only; getting leads into a CRM means manual re-entry or email-parsing middleware. No Zapier, Make, or Workato connector exists.
Frequently asked questions
LegalMatch scores F on the API Report Card. No public, partner, or private API: no endpoints, developer portal, webhooks, or SDKs. Matched cases reach attorneys by email, SMS, and app push only; getting leads into a CRM means manual re-entry or email-parsing middleware. No Zapier, Make, or Workato connector exists.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.

Vertical: Legal, specifically online attorney-client matching, pay-per-membership lead generation and lightweight intake CRM for solo and small-firm lawyers in the U.S. A consumer searches Google for a practice area + location (e.g., 'bankruptcy lawyer Reno'), lands on a LegalMatch landing page, clicks 'Present Your Case' and completes a free intake form (case description, contact info, jurisdiction, practice area)..
Moderate consumer-side U.S. ubiquity, low attorney-side market share, near-zero developer/API ubiquity.
Consumer case records: case ID, consumer name, contact info, jurisdiction (state/county/city), practice area, sub-practice tags, narrative case description, urgency, budget, intake timestamp, channel of origin (organic, paid, Law Library, mobile, partner landing page).

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
