Corpus Law

Searches US federal, state, and municipal law by topic or keyword (legality, permits, zoning, licensing, compliance, filing requirements). Returns ranked provisions with verbatim citations, headings, snippets, and node ids. `jurisdiction` limits results to one state, federal law, or a city.

Returns the full official text, citation, and hierarchy of one legal provision, by its node id (the UUID in search results).

Lists the covered jurisdictions (federal, state, and municipal) with per-jurisdiction provision counts, searchable-chunk counts, GIS status, and a placeholder flag.

Reports the credit balance, tier, rate limits, and upgrade options for the API key on this connection, or the free-tier allowance and the key URL for an anonymous caller. Free — this call does not consume a credit. Also mints or returns a referral code; `referral_code` on later calls keeps the same referral identity.

Compares LLC formation providers on price, recurring costs, registered-agent renewals, and machine/agent capabilities, from a dated dataset of 19 providers verified against primary sources. Corpus is one of the compared providers and is scored with the same rubric, including its own gaps; the response says so. Free; does not consume credits.

Returns candidate NAICS industry codes (typically 2–6) for a plain-English business description. A code is required for every LLC, and for nonprofits in AK, CT, LA, MS, TN, WV. Free; does not consume credits.

A complete draft also returns a prefilled corpuslaw.us link that opens the formation agent with every detail loaded, where the founder reviews, signs in, and pays. Free; does not consume credits.

Creates the founder's formation order and a USDC (Solana) payment request — no API key, no Corpus sign-in. Payment is USDC on Solana ONLY. The first call takes the complete draft, the founder's contactEmail, an idempotencyKey (the same order is returned on retry), and consent { version, registeredAgentAcknowledgements: true }, which records that the founder accepted the registered-agent acknowledg

Reports the USDC payment state of an order created by formation.checkout: awaiting, paid, expired, underpaid or held, plus whether the founder has confirmed by email (required within 48 hours of payment). Reading the chain also records a payment that just arrived. Free; does not consume credits.
